  • Monopoly
    A monopoly is a market in which one person or company is the only supplier of a particular good or service. A monopoly is characterized by a lack of economic competition to produce a particular thing, a lack of viable substitute goods, and the possibility of a high monopoly price well above the seller's marginal cost that leads to a high monopoly profit. The verb monopolise or monopolize refers to the process by which a company gains the ability to raise prices or exclude competitors. In economics, a monopoly is a single seller. In law, a monopoly is a business entity that has significant market power, that is, the power to charge overly high prices, which is associated with unfair price raises. Although monopolies may be big businesses, size is not a characteristic of a monopoly, as a small business may still have the power to raise prices in a small industry (or market).
    ~ Wikipedia: Monopoly
A Guatemalan policeman holds a suspect at gunpoint during a security checkpoint exercise. Due to the monopoly on violence held by the state, the policeman is allowed to use force and the threat of force legally, while the suspect is not.
