A Free Market vs A Free Ride

RE:" ...any better mousetrap has a great chance of succeeding. "

True to this Extent:
Better mousetraps do tend to prosper in a free market. This is less true in a Monopoly Market. The degree to which freedom is unnaturally restricted in a Monopoly Market is the degree to which the Monopoly leaches its free ride.

This is the cost we bear. Its really quite simple.
