So let's have 5 mega conglomerates controlling >50% of the country.
This way it will never have enough to eat a 100 wealthy people and thus gives up before it tries.
* Disclaimer: They are random numbers and have no correlation to anything real.
Eating the rich doesn't also consume their wealth. Doesn't even necessarily redistribute it. Most of the time it just makes another rich person that could be eaten.
Smart move if you want to continue eating rich people!
Keep eating rich people until their wealth makes it out or until the person inheriting it gives it away.
5? I have heard that Samsung is like 70% of their GDP, Hyundai and by extension Kia are also vertically integrated.
Something something national values and governmental ties allow monopolistoc and vertical integrated structures.
Not entirely sure but something like that.
A similar thing goes on with some companies in Japan.
Well...It can go very well and very bad.
