"Monopoly raises two classes of problems for a free society. First, the
existence of monopoly means a limitation on voluntary exchange through a reduction
in the alternatives available to individuals. Second, the existence of monopoly
raises the issue of âsocial responsibilityâ, as it has come to be called, of the monopolist."
