Amazon disrupts everything it touches and upends any market it enters. In the era of its game-changing dominance, how can any company compete?
We are just witnessing the start of the radical changes in retail that will revolutionize shopping in every way. As Amazon and other disruptors continue to offer ever-greater value, customers’ expectations will continue to ratchet up, making winning (and keeping) those customers all the more challenging. For some retailers, the changes will push customers permanently out of their reach—and their companies out of business.
In The Shopping Revolution, Barbara E. Khan, a foremost retail expert and professor at The Wharton School, examines the companies that have been most successful during this wave of change, and offers fresh insights into what we can learn from their ascendance.

What you are describing is the system of checks and balances.
In the United States there is a system of checks and balances. In our federal government, we have three different branches including the executive, legislative, and judicial. In our system, the executive branch consists of the president while the legislative branch consists of the Senate and House of Representatives. These different branches all have the ability to check the other branches. This ensures that no one branch or individual will gain too much power.
The person who has been known up until today as the "father of modern economics" is Adam Smith. A thinker and philosopher from Scotland, born in 1723 and died in 1790, Adam Smith was given this important title because of his ideas and theories on laissez-fair and the tendency of free markets to regulate themselves by way of competition, supply, demand and self-interest. He wrote several books where he proposed his economic ideas, among which we have: The Theory of Moral Sentiments, where he expresses this ideal of a hidden hand, which means the capacity of markets to autoregulate and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. He was also the proponent of the theory of compensating wage differentials, which states that jobs that are riskier pay much better wages to workers because of the risk they represent, versus jobs that offer little to no risk. He is also known as the father of Capitalism.
