A monopoly exists when a specific individual or enterprise has sufficient control over a particular product or service to determine significantly the terms on which other individuals shall have access to it. Monopolies are thus characterized by a lack of economic competition for the good or service that they provide and a lack of viable substitute goods. The term "monopolize" refers to the process by which a firm gains persistently greater market share than what is expected under perfect competition. Monopolies tend to become less efficient and innovative over time, becoming complacent giants because they do not have to be efficient or innovative to compete in the marketplace. In addition, monopolies often skyrocket their prices to turn a profit, and since there is no competition, consumers have no choice but to continue paying. In order to become monopolies, some companies forced small family-run businesses to shut down, ruining the livelihoods of hundreds of people.

Monopolies have basically no competition, so they can charge whatever prices they want and use unfair business methods, which is bad for customers, so the government tries to stop monopolies from forming.
Monopolies are generally not permitted because if one company has control of an entire sector of the market they will have the ability to raise their prices extremely high, and everyone would be forced to pay that price because they have nowhere else to go for the service or product. Basically it is unfair for the customers.

Yes, monopolies exist when a company dominates a particular industry and controls a large portion of the market. This can lead to less competition, higher prices for consumers, and less innovation in the industry. Governments often regulate monopolies to promote fair competition.
