Monopoly.
There are many legal monopolies. The United States Postal Service is the only letter mail provider and is government funded to make it run at a loss.
There are regulations. Monopoly means that there is one firm available to do a service. That is NOT illegal. If you are the only one who knows how to build a plane, you are the only one who can manufacture it. Monopolies are mainly done with patents, copyrights, etc. So if I can build a device that can make you fly, I don't have to tell everyone my secrets. I get get a patent. You can consider me a monopoly, but what I am doing is NOT illegal. Monopolies are also made, in a way, with government contracts. For example, if your city hires a company for water or electricity, that is the only company available in your area and therefore a monopoly, but NOT illegal, there is simply nobody else who can do the business. If however, you do not have a patent for something or you use a general idea and get everyone else out of business, then you are a monopoly that IS illegal.
No. Monopoly money is only legal tender in the Monopoly game.
