Also: for the same reason that the rational does not need the state to dictate his actions, the rational has no need for a hierarchy of business; since every worker is equipped with the mental skills needed to run a business (it's kind of sad to note that they currently don't, despite 14 years of involuntary "education"), they can very easily form businesses together and share their wealth with each other as they see fit. What good is a corporate empire on the local level?--it's just extra overhead for the worker, who gets what's left trickled from the top of the pyramid as our current system is now, and accepts it as he cannot see any other way to make a living, nor was he provided the skills required to see why it's screwing him over (though he will constantly complain about it to his peers) thanks to the corporate empire's bed buddy, the state, where there is no incentive to produce thinking adults via the educational system, merely productive ones.
They say that only some small percentage of population have mental skills needed to run a business and I have to agree with them. And even if you have these skills in you (among them not the last the trait which allows you to make people do what you want and how you want it, i.e. to be a dictator of some kind) you can't directly control a number of people beyond some limit. So, given the present depth of the division of labor, we really have no other options left but to build those multilevel corporate pyramids... As simple as that!
