A situation in which a single company owns all or nearly all of the market for a given type of product or service. This would happen in the case that there is a barrier to entry into the industry that allows the single company to operate without competition (for example, vast economies of scale, barriers to entry, or governmental regulation). In such an industry structure, the producer will often produce a volume that is less than the amount which would maximize social welfare
A situation in which a single company or group owns all or nearly all of the market for a given type of product or service. By definition, monopoly is characterized by an absence of competition, which often results in high prices and inferior products.
According to a strict academic definition, a monopoly is a market containing a single firm. In such instances where a single firm holds monopoly power, the company will typically be forced to divest its assets. Antimonopoly regulation protects free markets from being dominated by a single entity.
Monopoly is the extreme case in capitalism. Most believe that, with few exceptions, the system just doesn't work when there is only one provider of a good or service because there is no incentive to improve it to meet the demands of consumers. Governments attempt to prevent monopolies from arising through the use of antitrust laws.
Of course, there are gray areas; take for example the granting of patents on new inventions. These give, in effect, a monopoly on a product for a set period of time. The reasoning behind patents is to give innovators some time to recoup what are often large research and development costs. In theory, they are a way of using monopolies to promote innovation. Another example are public monopolies set up by governments to provide essential services. Some believe that utilities should offer public goods and services such as water and electricity at a price that is affordable to everyone.

When Nepal’s worst earthquake in 80 years hit around noon on April 25, the country’s prime minister Sushil Koirala was reportedly flying to Bangkok for a personal medical treatment, after attending the Asian-African summit in Indonesia.
It gets more absurd—he apparently only found out about the catastrophic earthquake, which has so far killed over 5,000 people, after he read a tweet by Indian prime minister Narendra Modi.
At least this is the version of events that Nepal’s foreign minister, Mahendra Bahadur Pandey, gave to Indian news agency IANS on April 28. “Then we started seeking details,” Pandey added. “We called Nepal and got updates regularly. I was also informed about the quake after going through Modi’s Twitter account.”
Inquiries about the chain of events sent to the Nepal foreign minister’s office by e-mail and through social media were not immediately answered.
The unusual incident—where a country’s prime minister is informed of a massive natural disaster at home through the Twitter account of a neighbouring counterpart, instead of his own staff—was seemingly corroborated by Modi himself on April 27.
At an event in New Delhi, the Indian prime minister said that Koirala told him in a telephone call that Modi’s tweet had been his first source of information.
At 12.23pm (local time), Modi’s personal Twitter handle sent this out:
So, to recap: The prime minister of a country of 28 million people only learned of a devastating earthquake at home more than 40 minutes after it hit—via Twitter.
