It is important, in the first instance to address the issues around the type of monopoly being referred to. Depending on the type of the monopoly structure, the competition laws in effect and the type of good or service being produced by such a firm, then we can assess the extent and degree of government involvement. Government will only intervene when the market has failed and when the monopolistic practices are abusiev or exploting the consumers. It should be government prerrogative to protect its people. Governments can and if there is need or justification curb monopoly power. Government has a duty to observe the laws governing a monopoly and should there be a need, such lwas can be amended to attain some but not limited to the following results, (a) price controls and ceilings; (b) product quality controls; (c ) accessibility to the product; (d) relative information availability; (e) remove or reduce entry barriers to allow for perfect or imperfect competition. There are lots of monopolies that have faced serious challenges when the market was opened for new entrants, yes, governments need to curb monopoly power in suita ble instancec.

It was invented by a single person, Charles B. Darrow.Charles Darrow merely adapted Monopoly and then fraudulently patented it as his own invention, having learnt it from Quaker friends.

This patent no. can be seen on early Parker Brothers' Monopoly sets, the rights having been bought from Magie for a mere $500, yet Darrow became a millionaire.

Hasbro would have received the rights to Monopoly when it bought Tonka in 1991. Tonka received the rights when it purchased Kenner Parker Toys in 1987. Kenner Parker was formed by the merge of Kenner and Parker Brothers in 1985. Parker Brothers had been a subsidiary of General Mills since 1968, and had purchased the rights to Monopoly in 1935. The Charles B. Darrow patent (US 2,026,082), owned by Parker Brothers, Inc., was issued December 31, 1935, having languished in the patent office since its filing in August. Under today's US patent laws, it would be denied, copies having already been sold to the public, by the inventor, in 1933 - more than a year before filing for the patent. Furthermore, it would have been invalid because it was not actually invented by Darrow, having been substantially copied from other games that had been around (and patented) since 1904.
