I don't think history supports this prediction. We've been through several cycles of of this over the past few hundred years already -- the rise of powerful corporatocracy, followed by the people ultimately getting sick of that and knocking corporate power back.

I see no reason to expect that pattern won't continue to repeat as we move into the future.
