big corporations only have the power they do (and only get big) because of the influence of federal government.

So it is your unequivocal claim that big corporations (or an analogue to corporation) would not exist under AC? Do you want to share with us how you know that?

One would think that the economies and necessities of scale involved in things like oil production, refining and retailing; defense organizations; insurance, certain software systems, microprocessor manufacturing, aerospace manufacturing, and so forth would result in some very large corporations. Especially when combined with people's natural inclination to become as powerful as possible and to horde as much as possible.
