The existence of corporations and LLC companies would have never existed in a true free market society, especially one like Islam that emphasizes that accountability and legal consequences are directed at individuals rather than collective entities like companies/corporations. Collective entities do not exist as humans, they are not moral agents.

The only reason corporations exist is because the government legislated their existence, and so their existence is reliant on government intervention. Without the government, their emergence would not have appeared.

Corporations are especially bad when it comes to market distortions as any violation of free market principles or morality is seen through limited liability shenanigans. This limited liability places the blame on a corporation, a non-personal entity, and deflects legal accountability from the actual persons involved in the aggressions and exploitations in the market. This includes debt traps, fraud, damaging the environment and more.

True, also the concept of mega corporations that eat up every smaller corporations. This is only possible due to debt based financing.

Yep! This was what I was going to mention that I talk about in my book. Nothing wrong with big corporations in general, but they grow too big and in a very immoral way when fiat money bailouts and subsidies are involved.
