"How could mergers depress an economy? Davis explained as follows. Big companies combined to make bigger companies, until a few names (General Electric, DuPont, GeneralMotors, and U.S. Steel) dominated their respective industries. With these giants throwing their weight around, smaller, more innovative enterprises scrambled to survive. In the auto industry alone, a procession of car makers (Stutz, Reo, Auburn, Hupmobile, Willys-Overland, Hudson, Packard, Studebaker, and others) went bankrupt or were consumed by more powerful rivals."
