With total power over the product the monopoly provides, it can raise the prices of products as it pleases, forcing the consumer to pay more for the goods it provides as these goods are not available anywhere else. This problem is avoided by government intervention, by which the government imposes a maximum or minimum price on the market, ultimately avoiding market failure.
