Funny thing is people defend it instead of wanting to crack down because they are "trendy" and PC. The fact remains, they are now an entertainment monopoly that will keep growing until people stop consuming their products or something intervenes.

    I suppose you haven't looked into the laws that protect the government's monopoly on energy production or utility operation then. In some cases, even if you can manage your own heating, electricity, water, and sewage systems on site, the government will still require you to pay into the national grid. In cases where private companies are allowed to own some part of it, regulations ensure the government has de facto control of the company. Of course the government is happy to pay for your power station to be built if you'll play ball, which you'd have to do since the requirements are so expensive only a massive entity like a state or national government could hope to take the bill on credit.

    Some monopolies make me laugh, the area i live in has 1 main utility company but a few of the biggest cities in the state set up monopolies on their own utilities and all they do is buy power/gas/etc from the main utility company and stick a thick markup on top. They make inspections and permits as much as 10x the price as the main utility company and they make power about double, they sometimes make the main utility handle things like power lines and pipes, and they dont produce any of their own power. The funny thing is when they set up their own monopoly they claimed it was "to prevent other utility companies taking advatnage of their customers" and stuff liek that.

    Free market economy encourage natural monopoly only when you have natural limitations to competition and entrepreneurship, like an industry with high initial infrastructural costs. For example, if a company builds a railroad from A to B, it would be incredibly silly and waste of money if Another company built a railroad with the same exact route. The second company would never being able to build a entire railroad and run at a profit, with an already established railroad operating in the same place, as the first company already have the infrastructure in place, only having the costs of maintain it. So railroad, electrical grids, oil, nuclear plants are few examples, for different reasons, of industries that tends towards natural monopolies. That does not apply to everyday business, and natural monopolies should not be a justification for EXCESS of regulation. Governments, way more the free market economics, are the biggest responsible for monopolies, with governors and politicians using the power of state to the benefits of friends and themselves since immemorial times.

    Businesses that benefit from the network effect tend towards natural monopolies as well this is a common underpinning of web monopolies. Take KZread for example the value to content creators is proportional to the size of the sites audience and the value to the audience is proportional to the amount of content on the site. Thus a video sharing site has a massive increase in the value of their services simply by virtue of having more users already.

    Just own shares in all of those companies. Even if one goes bust, you still have all the others, competing to see which can turn a greater profit. Because you are already wealthy, you can own a large chunk of each of the companies, and because you were the owner of the parent company, this makes it easier for you to own parts of the company. This way, even though your fake tree company was lost, your wealth lives on.

    Most of these companies are not trusts, they are in oligopolistic competition. They are as similar as you are likely to be, you both have widespread supply and distribution chains, neither of you can do much. If you try to bribe the government, they introduce a proposal but the idea might be co-opted to give a deal, maybe even monopoly, to your competition, you can't be certain that you will get the monopoly. So you just stay where you are, and the same applies for pretty much everyone else. This is where most of the capitalist economy is at this point.

    Not much. If you still have a government protecting these. There is some hope though. Nearly all oligopolies I can find need some level of state protection. First let's start with a really basic one. Intellectual property rights create a huge amount of the oligopolies today. Imagine if McDonalds no longer meant anything because its trademark wasn't a protected symbol. Without this, many of the chain companies like Walmart, most fast food, and pretty much anything on the franchise model will have very independent stores. Most film oligopolies wouldn't exist without patents, technology oligopolies too, car companies need patents too for most of the details. Copyright protects most of the education businesses like Pearsons for example, and even much of the basis of polic education as opposed to the unschooling models and cooperative education as advocated by Leo Tolstoy. Drug patents, medical device patents, the materials needed to learn how to become a doctor, these aren't controlled centrally anymore, so this affects most of the healthcare providers (but not the health insurance). The economy as owned by oligopolies depends on state financing of infrastructure. This used to be telegraph wires and railways, then it moved to public airports, pipelines and highways, now it's big on the internet communication. Most of that needed state support to build and not charge companies, the prime beneficiaries of this investment, what it truly costs to maintain their access to. Roads themselves create big business, sometimes directly like in road building contracts, in other ways it's more of municipal planning. Large roads create massive investment for cars and trucks, so people buy more of that, and municipal zoning makes big box stores, strip mall/detatched businesses like gas stations and fast food joints common, and housing isn't any longer what it has mostly existed as, low rise apartment or rowhouses. And then that depends on fossil fuels to run, propping that up a lot. Then there are government choices about generating power, and the deliberate choice to use fossil fuels over cleaner ones that can be more decentralized and owned locally. Look hard enough at pretty much any company and you can nearly invariably find some type of government protection or aid that it could not survive without. This is also the least corrupt system you can imagine with this, with nobody needing to be bribed for this to be maintained, it's very likely that if a company can find anyone willing to be infuenced, they can help them get elected, maybe even get some kickbacks or favourable deals like a new change in the urban zoning regulations to permit an expansion somewhere or lengthening patent terms. Don't forget how about 42% of the US economy is spent by government at some level, like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, the military, education, public housing, prison, subsidies, university aid, and so much more. Without that, a huge chunk of the American economy couldn't survive. Even a credit freeze in 2008 tanked 6% of the economy nearly overnight with just a few banks. This is all a highly interdependent system. Some options for alternates though. Put the government spending into the hands of cooperatives (like a democratic company, and all people get dividends in proportion to their use/employment within the cooperative, and all votes are equal) like if a government creates an education system, you get say a 5 thousand dollar voucher to go to a cooperatively owned education school, rather than the government potentially being influenced and throwing wrenches into the works of public education. Like charter schools, but better. That deals with about 42% of the economy, as for the rest, don't keep IP laws, and make infrastructure on a paid for basis. If you want to run your truck weighing 40 tonnes and doing a bunch of damage to the road, you better pay for the absolute cost of it and not a penny less. If you want to build a road without these tolls, fine, but build it yourself. And this is even assuming you want to keep a government. With social ties strongly in the hands of cooperative federations, it's feasible to create self defense squads employed because cooperatives know that it's useful to have community policing, and by using natural rights to be able to protect anyone else or oneself, a self defense squad can itself be a co-op and protect people based on community support not a state or government.

    I'm a huge fan of the channel. And an anarchocapitalist. An ancap would have some responses to the situations you propose, namely whether or not competition would spring up. You mention that once the forests have been bought up, that's it, game over. Why? If the price of trees is raised to dollars like you suggest, then the amount of trees you will need will decline in proportion to the demand for the trees. As you increase the price, the demand goes down for the product and thus the need for real wood goes down as well. Assuming the entrepreneur who bought all the forests would hold onto this wood as opposed to selling it actually undercuts your argument. This guy is in it for the money right? If he has a bottleneck on the forests -- which btw is insane, who has that much money, and how much did they raise their price to in order to stockpile that money before the purchase? -- then other industries will suffer as well. The demand for lumber will increase with the reduced supply -- this price dynamic will eventually sway the entrepreneur into selling his unrefined lumber if he can make more of a profit on the lumber than the fake tree. The fake tree monopolist has now become a lumber monopolist. He has used one monopoly to establish another. But how did he get the first monopoly to establish the second? People can always plant more forests if the price rises high enough. That's the entire reason the price mechanism exists, to convey information quickly and efficiently about the market. The reason monopolies solidified in the 1800s was government intervention. It was through lobbying and things like the Anti-trust act that monopolists were able to secure and expand their fortunes.

    Predatory pricing doesn't work. When you sell under market-price, smaller businesses can just temporarily freeze their businesses and when you go back to selling at an inflated price, the smaller businesses are gonna come back and start selling at market-price and boom, you're out of business. Also, state-regulations are the best friend of the monopolist. In fact, natural-monopolies don't exist. You always, ALWAYS need a state-enforced permit to have a monopoly. Also, next time anyone thinks of using the state to prohibit monopolies from forming, think of this simple question: How would you like it if one giant company had control over your entire country. A company that had a monopoly on law and law-enforcement that could decide what rules should be emposed on you, that would finance itself not by providing anything to society but by forcefully extracting protection-money from you and that could lock you up whenever you went against it. Would you enjoy that? I hope so because we call this company "the state".

    History is what we make of it. We are the ones writing the books now. Through our actions everyday. It's hard to say what success is, these men saw it as substantial wealth and infrastructure. However, the story of the workers often gets untold. The ones who put in the work into designing, manufacturing, and all the other work around. So few stories got told back then. You see it now with all these bloggers and celebrities. They think in the same mentality. How many people follow them, how much money they made, and blah blah blah. The problem is, many of them have not built the infrastructure to Last the test of time. Faded glory seeker through exposing their privacy to the the world. Even if it is all a facade. It's all temporary. The one lesson here to learn is that it is infrastructure. However, I am focused on building mine. Just enjoy listening/watching videos about history in the background. This one is kinda relevant, considering I have started my own business. A lot of stuff to learn, but all my money is going to tools for infrastructure. So I can build it myself. I can't pay the people enough to get the work I want done. So while I educate myself in working in construction, I am gaining capital to expand. I can't wait to establish myself, to be able to help those around me grow. I don't want the things they wanted. I'd rather spend my money on infrastructure and the people. I want to make a billion dollars, to spend 999 million on the people in someway or another. Especially since I can build it myself, 1m can go a long way. It's really not all that hard to see how these abstract figures of history, relate to us in the present day. And if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to follow it's mistakes. It will be fun to show off to the world what just another statistic can do with the world, if they really wanted too. It will be fun proving the doubters wrong. I don't really seek their approval, but man, is it great to see them demoralized at first, and then join you as a brother or sister. Those people tend to be your closest allies. If you all them to be your brother or sister. We are all in this together at the end.... might as well make it a memorable generation of something like a cultural renaissance of the different arts of human history. Everything from food production, to education of a modern age, healthcare reforms through properly supplied students who want to be there..... How many times have you you wished you could do something? Not everyone is brilliant, but if you're passionate... you can make up a lot of ground with the right backing. People find causes on their own. People just need time to figure it out. This applies from Rockefeller to the homeless woman behind Walmart. That's what history has taught me. Time is perspective. Education can help change that perspective. Education gives power to those who seek it on their own. Right now, it is an escape. Putting people in jobs they hate, for security. Leading to high suicide rates across the nation. The effects rippling down to our youth. Hence, is why school shootings seem to be more apparent, in coarse aided by news broadcasts that glorify these incidences. Maybe I am just another crazy man on the internet.... But there is a way through this. If we are not willing to work together at some degree, past the point of corporations, we will be stagnated by their desires. Businesses is the way to security nowadays. The problem is people don't know how to properly minimize their costs, because of what they see around them. You don't need what everyone else has. You need, what YOU need. All these courses are not hard to be able to put into real world applications. I'm about to buy a welder and teach myself MIG welding. Will be useful down the line. :) However with the Trump tax on imported metals will be interesting to follow. However, most of what I need, will be repurposed from basically trash. So.... I am focused on my own gas type of monopoly I suppose, on the grounds that it was a waste product. However, that for me is the homeless population. They are the forgotten. So people will come when I am ready. Already have people on just hope, telling me that they have sons willing to work. And me just being honest with them about myself.... they know what will be done. It will be nice to put my money where my mouth is, and do the shit I am talking about. Slowly, but surely, I am making progress. Until then... I am smiling at the progress I've already made. Once I get the capital to buy my land, shit will get real interesting. I would genuinely like to live where people smiled everyday, because they were allowed to be focused on their passions in life. Sure, there will be duds... but the ones that root and take off.... they will provide the warmth and life of the city. They will understand what the city needs, and they will have the time and resources to being able to doing something about it. It would be nice to live in a city of leaders. Everyone could help each other out, because they are not focused on monetary gain. Maybe... Maybe I am crazy, or maybe I am passionate. But the problem still persists, and I see no solutions in sight. If not me, then who? I've matured a lot and have felt a sense of protecting those around me. To see Alan Kurdi, and go damn.... What if that was my son? How would I feel? As Americans, we have the obligation of picking up the torch. To go on, for our brothers and sisters that have fallen. It's really a shame, our education system makes history sound sooooo fucking boring. To put yourself in those positions.... I'm Polish, I'm thankful history was on my side to get me here. I know what happens when no one stands up. When no one rallies his fellow brothers and sisters. When our Statue of Liberty says to give us your hungry, your sick, and your poor.... I know I am a minority in this... but I don't mind. I went from getting scholarships to Europe, to losing them, hanging out with unsavory people who took advantage of my youth, going to Juvie, and foster homes, losing my social glue to the family, to then building myself up to where I am at now, feeling capable of doing the shit I am talking about.... I feel bad for those who don't feel as capable. Because deep down, every single one of us are fighters. And it is through our crucible, are we sculpted into the people we choose to become. The fires will scar you, but those scars are the bonds that bring you back to life. Because you survived them. Not many get that chance. And with our claims of life, we are the ones who write history. History is what we make of it. To do nothing is not only a disservice to your fellow people, but also the biggest ones we often take in our children. We owe it to the, to make the world a better place for them. My children are not better for there being homeless people, so I will eliminate that problem. Shit will grow and people will make of it what they will. And it will be in those moments when the floodgate of human exploration will begin. The Millennial Renaissance. XD I still don't know why people use it as a negative term. I personally don't give a fuck. Our advantage is the internet. The shit we can do, we resources are available to us...

StandardOil has set a standard to the oil industry back then and there were still a few good competitors to Rockefeller's company.

    Of course more and more people. Would you rather farm for yourself and have 7 kids with less than half making it into adulthood and risk your entire livelihood on famines or work in a factory and have less kids, more pay, and better access to resources such as institutions.

    The problem with making deals with transport companies to make a monopoly that way is that not only do you have competition, but the transport companies also have competition. Also, to drop your prices to 12.5% of what they take to make and less to make a profit means that it will take you an inordinately massive amount of time to recuperate all those sales that you had people spending one penny for. Standard oil actually gained a monopoly via prohibition destroying any chance at the alcohol engine getting anywhere, so if anything, government regulation is what causes these monopolies in the first place as the big companies are able to absorb the cost whilst the little guy is driven out of business by the additional cost the regulations ask of the companies.

    You should do a series of these. Monopolies have existed in many (all?) centuries and how they have been created has varied widely. You could get into the East India Company, the Knight's Templar, AT&T, and Amazon as examples of how monopolies have formed in other centuries.
