The word “monopoly” evokes a number of reactions. For some, it means the death of competition and the rise of bully businesses that can jack up prices at their sinister whims. For others, it means family squabbles and slammed game boards from landing on Boardwalk -- again -- after your little brother put a hotel on it. Either way, rarely does a positive reaction follow discussion of monopolies.
