I'm not sure if comment section is a place to just paste such super-long articles..

Anyway, saying that free-market leads to monopoly is outright lie.. Monopolies cannot happen or last long in free market because everyone is free to start a business .. the more profit an industry makes, more competition it attacts! The new competiton has incentive to sell goods for cheaper than the monopoly. . There will always be new competitors untill the rate of profit falls and is similar to other industries. .

P.S. If you're interested in thinking differently too then I highly highly recommended the book "Basic Economics" by Thomas Sowell. . It answers almost every issue you mentioned. :)
