Why monopoly has no suply curve?
Monopoly has no supply curve because the monopolist does not take price as given, but set both price and quantity from the demand curve.
A cartel differs from a monopoly in that?
a cartel is a group that agrees to charge monopoly price and quantity, splitting quantity amongst themselves. so a monopoly is one company and a cartel is a group. Profits are lower for cartel members because they only produce a total quantity that is equal to a monopolists production. novanet-businesses making the same product agree to limit production
Why monopoly does not have a supply curve?
Because the monopolist's supply decision cannot be set out independently of demand. since supply curve tells us the quantity that a firm chooses to supply at any given price and on the other hand, a monopoly firm is a price maker; the firrm sets the price and at the same time it chooses the quantity to supply.

Why does a free market economy need government intervention?
Although free market economies are mostly based on the free choices of the buyers and consumers, one reason government intervention is needed is to prevent the creation of monopolies. If a monopoly is a natural monopoly or a monopoly that doesn't seem to make too much profit, it can be left alone, but if a monopoly has significant power and makes too much profit, government must restrict its market powers. Otherwise, the monopoly could control prices and output with no restrictions at all. Also, sometimes government must set price ceilings or price floors in order to try to fix the problems of shortages and surpluses. By setting these price levels, the government helps bring the price and quantity back to equilibrium position, where the quantity demanded = quantity supplied.
How does the controller of a monopoly set price of goods?
