Fratanomics, that wouldn’t happen, because when an oil company raises prices too high for any company to buy, the oil company wouldn’t sell. Use your fucking brain, selling is good for a business, therefore they want to. You’re an idiot.
Yes and no. Money can buy you anything, but it can absolutely fuck the little guy and innovation. Not saying it’s not the best system in an equal environment, but one doesn’t exist today. There’s a reason the most capitalist country in the world has anti-monopoly laws. Monopolies goes against the American Dream.
Anti-monopoly laws are stupid. True capitalism is the only fair way. Microsoft had a monopoly for the longest time and it was cheaper and easier. Companies will emerge and/or grow when they can offer a better value to the customer. If you offer more value, you will obtain value in return.
If you have more money, you an also completely destroy a smaller company who delivers more value. It’s called a loss leader. Talk to one of your idols Teddy Roosevelt. Learn history and economics, and then take a bleach tablet. I like laissez faire, but not everyone is like Warren Buffett. Monopolies are usually harmful to the marketplace the same way that dictators are usually bad for countries politically.
^ You sir have no idea what a monopoly is. It eliminates true competition which could and will lead to absurd prices due to their being no alternatives to said product/service. The way the anti-monopoly rules work is if you create a completely new field of service/product you have free reign on it for 5 years which is your patent limit then you are forced to share part of your secrets so other people can create competition. With monopolies there can be no competition, because the bigger companies strategy wouldn’t be to advertise or entice the consumer, they’d just destroy the other competition with there massive market share and ability to move their prices at will even to where they experience a loss to force the other companies out of business.
Monopolies aren’t created in a vacuum. They grow to exist genius. Patents aren’t open until 14 years after filed and are renewable. Hence why Lilly and Merck rape everyone with non-generics. Oligopolies and government-sanctioned monopolies based on geography are super common. The difference in effect is negligible. Start your laps.
The reason monopolies don’t do as you claim you’re so scared of seeing is because it would be bad for business. If a company completely controls a sector, which happens because of low prices and good quality, then they will only raise prices or allow poorer quality until another competitor comes in with lower prices or better quality. This is why Walmart and other huge companies aren’t evil, but good for the consumer. When a monopoly is established, and that monopoly decides to raise prices, people have the choice to stop buying from them. In that case, no one, especially the monopoly, wins; therefore, the monopoly will either have competition or will lower prices again.
lxaex1143 you clearly failed econ. Monopolistic pricing leads to all sorts of downstream issues, most notably increased prices to consumers and possibly driving companies out of business. If Allison had a complete monopoly on transmission production, they could raise the price with impunity. If they raised it so high that Ford, GM, and Chrysler couldn’t sell cars because of it, they’d be killing off a huge segment of industry. “Well someone else can invent and sell transmissions.” Thats’ when Allison steps in and buys enough of the crucial components to price out the little guy. Failing that, they can just use their transmissions as a loss leader because they have enough cash reserves to take a hit by selling the transmissions way below market value. Go look up barriers to entry. This shit is covered in the first week of micro econ. Monopolies stagnate innovation and harm marketplace quality. Do you want to be stuck with Tundras and Ridgelines. Say buy to the Frathoe and Navigator. That is why true monopolies are a bad idea. They’re anti-competitive and totally against any type of productive, capitalistic marketplace.
For someone having a name like “fratanomics” you sure don’t know shit about it. A free market system is the only “fair” market system there is, it is both ethical and moral. Because, producers and consumers can exercise free trade and since supply and demand is a scientific fact it obviously works. If a monopoly forms it should only be HELPING the consumer and like someone else said, if it doesn’t, other companies will emerge to meet consumers demands, or to put it simpler, people will quit buying their shit. Whoever thinks capitalism is “not fair” is misinformed. You could argue that “crony capitalism” is not fair but I also believe WHO you know is just as important as WHAT you know.
