>>Agree. But government intervention in my dictionary means set priority for
individuals or companies and redistribute income. It is not rules or laws govern the
exchange goods or money between them. I hope I made myself clear.<<

I think your definition fails because, under it, one man's rule is another man's intervention: zoning laws, taxes, and environmental regulations, for starters, all depend on what chair you're sitting in.

>>Agree. But without government's mandates cost, therer will be competitions soon
or later. Do you agree? <<

No, I don't agree. If Standard Oil controls the oil coming out of the ground, the pipelines, the refineries, and the distribution to the customer, how exactly is competition supposed to get a toehold?
