After takin' a swig o' grog, Roy Schestowitz belched out
this bit o' wisdom:
"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 ?social responsibility?, as it has come
to be
called, of the monopolist."
--Milton Friedman
