The document discusses how powerful industry leaders often try to prevent entry of new enterprises and innovations to protect their capital investments. However, this can create a positive-feedback loop by preventing capital from investing in profitable new opportunities, leading to an economic stall. The author cites a struggle between capitalist and capitalist as described by Lange, who suggests that attempts to block economic progress always fail due to the constant search for innovation by entrepreneurs.
