Andrew Carnegie was a buisnessman and the richest one that ever lived with comparrison to the economy at the time,

He went from an imigrant to head of the largest steal co in the world and hedid that by buying buying and buying every part of the steel industyr his rivals factories and every part of the industy including mines. He was a brilliant buisnessman and without monopoly he would never have reached what he had, eventually owning 90% of the industry its no wonder he suported it, and he was really a complicated man later in his life he laid out great emphasis on civil rights and industry regulations for workers yet the conditions in his steel mill were horrible (i.e. homestead) and he did all he could to maximize out put, though many saw him as a glorified man zesting up American economy he was a very harsh strict man who often acted cruely, that however was able to remain hidden and widely unseen being within the confines of his out mills, (yet later was greatly exposed). The fact that he suported monopoly a now heavily looked down upon institute was one he could not hide nor did he need to at the time major companies like naregie steel and rockefellers standard oil were simply unkown and the dangers of them had not yet been felt.

Andrew Carnegie argued in favor of monopolies because too much competition can be disadvantageous to business owners. The other smaller companies will take more of the market share.

Why natural monopolies exist?

They don't exist...monopolies are caused by government intervention in the market. Excessive regulations, permits, fees etc. create barriers to entry for competitive entrepreneurs, and there is often times legislation passed in favor of large corporations. A truly competitive free market does not have monopolies.
