A monopoly in economics, is the domination of
a market for a particular product or service
by a single company, which can therefore
restrict competition and keep prices high. In
practice, a company can be said to have a
monopoly when it controls a significant
proportion of the market (technically an
oligopoly).
Monopoly is also the world's biggest-selling
copyrighted game, Its is a game of
buying properties, building houses on them,
and charging rent.
