As organizations become more fit, they control more of the ecology. It's a basic requirement of any organization to fight for its survival or get squeezed out. When dominant organizations stop fighting, e.g. by forming cartels, they become fat and more vulnerable to attack or systematic intervention by government (much the same kind of the same thing). Of course the cartels can have strong influence over the government and thus inequity can persist.
