Which is the reason that they must be as small as possible, if not
smaller. The only way damage can be minimized is if government doesn't
have the power to damage.

Replace "governments" with "corporations" - heck, replace it with
"people" - the end result will be the same.

Unless you can change human nature, we're all whistling past the
graveyard.

But a limit on the amount of money in any form that any one can
accumulate might work for a few years until the unscrupulous find a way
around it. It's difficult to amass power without money.
