Problem Description
Economic systems that lead to market concentration over time may be undesirable in systems that rely on diverse participation for security (such as public blockchains). Efficient or revenue-maximising mechanisms may not be optimal for avoiding concentration as they often award goods exclusively to single agents even if that agent is only marginally different from others. What is the relationship between these properties? Can we articulate the tradeoff in an intelligent way?
