It may, or may not. Without laws to prevent monopolization, for example, in a truly free market, would that have stopped insanely large companies from buying up smaller ones?
Amazon, for example. While they exploited laws in their favor and benefitted immensely, where they got now was an eventuality with their profits anyway.
Problem isn't capitalism though, as we are meant to manage capitalism in such a way to prevent companies from consuming all other companies working on the same types of products -- as was said, it's truly cronyism.
The so-called "free market" being at the whims of the government directly and exclusively is insane. Microsoft buying up game companies like mad, Disney buying out entire swaths of the media industry, all while the government that was instilled with the authority by the people to stop this instead aids this. Because they're in on it.
