IMHO, the problem with monopolies is not the exercise of free markets, but at least in our system, the ability to buy influence with legislators and regulators such that government does the dirty work on behalf of the monopolies to crush any burgeoning enterprise that could compete with them.

As GK Chesterton said, “Too much capitalism does not mean too many capitalists, but too few capitalists.”

Drinking and smoking were popular long before the era of the Doobie Brothers.

TR didn’t get rid of Standard Oil, he defended Standard Oil. Taft did.
