I don't think it's good in any business for anyone to have a monopoly. On the other hand, you need to have size to get costs down.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Competition is always a good thing. It forces us to do our best. A monopoly renders people complacent and satisfied with mediocrity.
We don't have a monopoly. We have market share. There's a difference.
Before the monopoly should be permitted, there must be reason to believe it will do some good - for society, and not just for monopoly holders.
I think it's wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly.
I thrive in competitive environments. I've never been in a monopoly.
So far I go with the Socialists as to think it a pretty general rule that, where monopoly is necessary, it is better in public hands.
A monopoly is like running on firm ground. Nothing compels you to move, but if you do, you move forward. The faster you run, the more scenery you see - so you have some incentive to run fast.
Monopolies are bad because people get bad service for high prices. Competition is good because people get good service for competitive prices.
I don't know what a monopoly is until somebody tells me.
Being a 'monopoly' is not illegal, nor is trying to best one's competitors through lower prices, better customer service, greater efficiency, or more rapid innovation.
