English term or phrase: decentralization of power
Critics of capitalism argue that it establishes power in the hands of a minority capitalist class that exists through the exploitation of the majority working class and their labor; it prioritizes profit over social good, natural resources and the environment; and it is an engine of inequality, corruption and economic instabilities. Supporters argue that it provides better products and innovation through competition, disperses wealth to all productive people, promotes pluralism and decentralization of power

(power goes to "smaller" authorities)


Explanation:
In layman's terms, it means that smaller authorities, like cities, towns, or small businesses can make their own regulations rather than a big, central entity (overall country or a major corporation). Emphasis on the business examples for your context.

  -> Hence "major corporation" and "emphasis on the business examples." The link explains decentralizion of all types in layman's terms for several applications. The last (post) sentence implies, without further context, that these could be being referred to.
