About This Quote

In an effort to eliminate the possibility of any rival growing up, some monopolists would sacrifice democracy itself. Monopoly is a monopoly. And, if you have a monopoly on something, you can charge whatever you want. So, what are the chances that you are going to get someone else to pay more than you’re offering? It is so rare for someone to be able to charge what they want and still make a profit. That’s why monopolies are so rare and so hard to break.
