Big firms attract more credit and state support, reinforcing concentration.

Evidence

The processes of centralization and concentration feed into each other. The larger you are, the more investors you will attract, and the more credit you will receive at advantageous interest rates from banks. At the same time, state support will increase by way of tax breaks and various economic benefits. Hence the emergence of what is commonly referred to as the monopolistic power of large conglomerates. — Clara E. Mattei, Escape from Capitalism, 134
