Yup. Though, less “tends to”, more inevitable, mechanistically, intrinsic to money as power, taking more money to extract more money, the rich get richer, and accelerates under consolidations towards monarchy via plutarchy via oligarchy via kleptarchy via corporatism via capitalism via “free market”, ending with maximal centralisation. But yup.

Oh, and another point, … I have logs (history) of irc chans of decentralised organisation of development of decentralised technologies… so that’s more recent than the feudal times… while we’re on contrivances. ;) Heh. Feudal, decentral. That’s a fun angle to look at it from.
