I am sorry maybe you alredy made a video on this but how are monopolies created?

Why couldn't you have written the textbook you make things so easy to understand!

Really nice explanation. I tried a similar video in a more visual way. Watch it if you want. Thumbs up.

@pajholden Indeed I am also wondering about the same thing aryaldo mentioned myself. It seems to me should a firm in a say an industry gain a monopoly position, it could sacrifice a large short run super-normal profit in order to deter competitors (possibly through excess capacity maintenance). I also wonder whether this deterrence is easier in capital intensive industries (given it would take a while for a rival firm/individual to gather the sufficient capital to be willing to enter).

what about incentive for discovery?
research and discovery? if we did not have them we would not have the rate of invention and discovery w/o patents and trademarks?

of course. There is more dynamic efficiency (best chance for progress over time) under monopoly since they have the best incentive and financial resources to fund research.
