- legislation & licensing (usually favours some businesses over others and almost always favours bigger businesses over smaller businesses)
- crony capitalism (companies get special deals or favours from the state; e.g. contract work)
- copyright & patent law (both violations of actual property rights and in the case of patents: they heavily favour large businesses over small businesses).
- central banking (one half of almost every transaction is performed using state-controlled money. If you control the money you have massive control over the market by adjusting things like: the rate of issuance, interest rates (inter-bank lending rate), minimum reserve percentage that commercial banks must have and even through what they call "open market operations" (this is where the state controlled bank literally buys and sells on the market to fuck with the market in the way they deem "best")
