It is regulatory forces that prevent most monopolies.

In a free market the big fish would constantly buy up the smaller fish and use market forces to destroy those who would not sell.

Huge corporations have the capital to plan long term. If I have the ability to work at a loss for a couple of years while I destroy all my competition that is not a real problem because once I become a monopoly I am free to set prices wherever I wish.

     lol and you say you are anti monopolies.(nm) - SuperTone MU - 11/29 07:44:04
          Monopolies are not natural market occurrences - pickle MU - 11/29 07:50:09
               In a true free market monopolies would abound. - DHighlander KC - 11/29 08:00:35
                    How do you define monopoly? (nm) - ummmm MU - 11/29 09:42:27
                    That is woefully ignorant and incorrect - pickle MU - 11/29 08:10:54
                         Once again you are clueless. Monopolies form when a quality - DHighlander KC - 11/29 08:34:51
                              Wow, what a weird concept of a monopoly you have. - ummmm MU - 11/29 09:44:55
                              that growth is fostered by patents and govt protection. (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 11/29 09:43:32
                                   Speaking of patents (from the etymology link): - pickle MU - 11/29 09:53:10
                         the origin of the word is not "misused"(nm) - SuperTone MU - 11/29 08:12:44
                              RE: the origin of the word is not "misused"(nm) - pickle MU - 11/29 08:17:02
                                   "single" "sell" nothing about government.(nm) - SuperTone MU - 11/29 08:18:28
                                        RE: - pickle MU - 11/29 08:24:45
                                             So in other words, you didn't go back to the origin - SuperTone MU - 11/29 08:30:03
                                                  "right" is the key here - something proferred and protected - 90Tiger MU - 11/29 09:44:58
               and again, your "not natural" claim has been debunked - SuperTone MU - 11/29 07:51:22
                    It hasn't been debunked - pickle MU - 11/29 08:02:39
               So shouldn't the government fix their problem and then - SuperTone MU - 11/29 07:50:51
                    The government should get out, yes - pickle MU - 11/29 07:56:36
                         the concept of gradual is completely lost on you.(nm) - SuperTone MU - 11/29 07:58:00
                              There are no shades of grey in Cucumber boy's world. - DHighlander KC - 11/29 08:05:21
                                   My views and beliefs are morality based - pickle MU - 11/29 08:14:57
                                        They also have zero connection to reality.(nm) - DHighlander KC - 11/29 08:35:47
                                             That's an immature response - pickle MU - 11/29 08:46:07
                                                  No it is 100% correct. The fact that it hurt your feelings - DHighlander KC - 11/29 09:04:41
                                                       It wasn't even .000000000001% correct - pickle MU - 11/29 09:11:12
                              You didn't say anything about gradual - pickle MU - 11/29 08:03:21
