I'm not completely familiar with a lot of ancap ideas, but I've wondered, what mechanism of a free market would keep a corporation from expanding into so many ventures and growing so large that it becomes essentially a government? I'm assuming its simply competition from other corporations, but to me it seems like eventually in an ancap system, some form of government would eventually emerge. I'm probably completely wrong, so could you clear this up for me?
