  1. monopolist

    A monopolist is an individual, group, or company that is the sole provider of a particular product, commodity, or service in the market, giving them significant control over market prices and output. Because they face no competition, monopolists can dictate pricing and supply conditions, often leading to higher prices and potentially reduced product quality or innovation. Economic and antitrust laws often exist to prevent monopolistic situations in the interest of protecting consumers and promoting competition.

Webster Dictionary

  1. Monopolistnoun

    one who monopolizes; one who has a monopoly; one who favors monopoly

    To put it baldly, there are two ways to become wealthy: to create wealth or to take wealth away from others. The former adds to society. The latter typically subtracts from it, for in the process of taking it away, wealth gets destroyed. A monopolist who overcharges for his product takes money from those whom he is overcharging and at the same time destroys value. To get his monopoly price, he has to restrict production.

  3. Gonzalez Rogers:

    While the Court finds that Apple enjoys considerable market share of over 55% and extraordinarily high profit margins, these factors alone do not show antitrust conduct, the Court does not find that it is impossible; only that Epic Games failed in its burden to demonstrate Apple is an illegal monopolist.
