EVE’s market is unregulated to a degree which even in the most liberal (traditionally liberal) societies, would be considered too little. this is becuase it is a space dystopia where megacorps have status on par with state governments. sometimes they form the government, as in the Caldari State. although to my understanding the Caldari megacorps are closer to the Japanese Zaibatsu. Giant family-business hybrids.
It’s still possible to rise to power and even one day depose a cartel and even take its place. But currently it feels like the game isn’t doing the best job of making this viable like it once did.
