Monopolies exist for two reasons:
1.) The overhead cost is to high for competition to exist. For example a power company owns all the power lines and necessary equipment to generate electricity for a city. If another company decided to compete it would need to build an infrastructure from scratch resulting in to high of an overhead.
2.) The other reason is when a single entity controls a significant amount of a market resulting in a lack of economic competition.
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.

what is breaking up of monopolies call
If monopolies were allowed to exist, they could lead to a lack of competition, resulting in higher prices, reduced quality of goods and services, and limited choices for consumers. Monopolies might also stifle innovation, as the lack of competitive pressure diminishes the incentive to improve products or develop new technologies. Additionally, monopolistic practices can lead to significant economic inequality and concentration of power, potentially undermining democratic processes and consumer rights. Overall, the absence of competition can harm both the economy and society as a whole.
