            When a single institution becomes so powerful, that it has total control over a certain commodity, service or industry. This cant actually exist, because it cant ever be truly 100%. At least, not until we live in a futurisitic [dystopia] where the government/corporations/intelligent computers/big-headed aliens use mind control, rayguns and/or the Matrix to enforce control.

            An example of an Almost-monopoly is Microsoft, who many people say have a monopoly of the Desktop PC Operating System market. This isnt true, as a small percentage of people use Macs or Linux PCs. Hell, you can even use [FreeBSD] as a desktop system.

            A family game where people play shoes, irons and cowboy hats masquerading as [CEOs] vying for economic world domination. Based largely on luck, but skill/[know-how] can also be used, as is proved by a [sad person] I know who spent his [young life] getting good at the game so that, for once, he would be better than others at something. Usually, however, the game degenerates into petty fights and shouting matches.

                  Where a single institution controls all of the supply for a good in a market.
                  However, a monopoly cannot last in the long run, unless a barrier to entry exists in the market.
                  Barriers to entry include:

                  control of natural resources or inputs
                  [economies of scale]
                  technological superiority
                  legal restrictions imposed by governments, including patents and copyrights.

                  A [monopolist] maximizes profit by producing a little less than the market equilibrium, driving up the price of the good. This creates a deadweight [loss to society], (some mutually beneficial transactions are forgone), which is why a monopoly is discouraged or illegal in many parts of the world.

                        [Monopoly]: A bored, ([pardon] the [Freudian slip]), game.
                        [monopoly]: A legal concept that has been legislated out of existence by attorneys, judges, and legislators. Now that all legal definitions of monopoly are unlawful, simply understand this: When a corporation is so big that it doesnt need to worry about whether consumers like doing business with it, because they have no choice, its a monopoly.
