Description

<p>This second myth about market failure is again a call for interventionism and support for bigger government. Natural monopolies don&rsquo;t exist. The theory was made up after the fact. The only monopolies existing are those propped up by government privilege.</p><p>It took the economics profession about sixty years to look closely at the facts behind regulated monopolies like AT&amp;T and competition.</p><p>Lecture 7 of 10 from the Steven Berger Seminar: Thomas DiLorenzo on Liberty and American Civilization.</p>
