I hate how some libertarians straight up deny this kind of stuff being possible. Some people really think that monopolies didn't exist or at the very least think they could never afford to undercut and buy up businesses. Their main argument is that everyone would try to start a business to get bought out, but the problem is it costs money to start a business. If you got into it just to get bought out, more likely you would just be left to bankrupt because you didn't actually have a real business plan, plus noone is going to invest in you to help you get started which means you have a greater chance of failing before you could reach a point where a monopoly would want to buy you out.

An interesting phenomenon in Economics is when a monopoly over reaches with regard to prices, it can undercut their profits almost as much as if they did have competitors in their market. This is because if the costs become to high, people will either a) simply not buy or b) seek alternative goods/services from another market entirely.

@@samuellancaster6487 Funny thing that. Amazon, Walmart, and in a similar degree but in a different direction Facebook; have all been allowed to continue existing for the decades that they have due entirely to the fact that they DONT raise prices beyond what 'seems' reasonable. Bear in mind these companies control All the data so they know exactly what that majical number is. down to the penny. and can have computers adjust things accordingly in seconds. and do it all in realtime. Although at this point there IS NO OTHER market to use as an alternative. And you have to buy at SOME point. They can afford to wait.

Jan Łukasiewicz met Rockefeler in Poland and revealed to him the secrets of oil production for free. (Polish pronunciation: [iɡˈnatsɨ wukaˈɕɛvitʂ]; 8 March 1822 - 7 January 1882) was a Polish pharmacist, engineer, businessman, inventor, and philanthropist. He was one of the most prominent philanthropists in the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, crown land of Austria-Hungary. He was a pioneer who in 1856 built the world's first modern oil refinery.[1][2][3] His achievements included the discovery of how to distill kerosene from seep oil, the invention of the modern kerosene lamp (1853), the introduction of the first modern street lamp in Europe (1853), and the construction of the world's first modern oil well (1854).
