Mergers harm society when they lead to increased market power because it allows companies to charge higher prices, reduce product quality, and limit competition, ultimately restricting consumer choice and potentially harming the economy. Price reductions and cost savings can benefit society, while an increased number of companies may or may not have a positive impact depending on the market conditions.
