I largely agree but:

"our society has tended to seek to shrink the commanding heights of business, via anti-trust policy"

Well that has rarely been the case, and has not been the case for 50 years. Although conversely it is the left aligned tech companies that are most in need of breakup these days.

If there were a board game, players should be able to win without any high ground control. Let's face it: populism sometimes wins, and it doesn't do it by defending any institutional high ground. Bannon-esque Republicans are pursuing a low-ground-first strategy. They're happy let the left rule their ivory towers and their newly woke HR departments, just as long as they can't project power far beyond their high ground strongholds.
