“In the real world outside economic theory, every business is successful exactly to the extent that it does something others cannot. Monopoly is therefore not a pathology or an exception. Monopoly is the condition of every successful business.

Only one thing can allow a business to transcend the daily brute struggle for survival: monopoly profits.”
