Monopoly by definition is a kind of industry that a sole company is only working at present an example, in a city where there is only one supplier of electricity. This may be not beneficial for the country as a whole because in a monopolistic business, the government usually intervenes and set boundaries that somewhat limits the capacity of the company to accelerate more.

A monopoly is a trade market controlled by only one company, hence the prefix mono which means one. Its cause is greed. By being the only supplier of a good or service, the price is not competitive. The company can overcharge and needs not fear losing revenues to competing companies, because there are no competitors.
