"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."
