3 Reddit comments about Antitrust and Monopoly: Anatomy of a Policy Failure (Independent Studies in Political Economy):

u/LordMises · 2 pointsr/austrian_economics

Dominick Armentano is one Austrian that has focused much of his work on antitrust law. You could try Antitrust: The Case for Repeal for a start (which is luckily available for free in pdf)... or Antitrust and Monopoly: Anatomy of a Policy Failure for something more technical.

Mises (notably in Human Action and Liberalism) thought monopoly was generally not problematic for market economies, with the possible exception of geographic monopolies over natural resources.

Rothbard (in Man, Economy, and State) took the view that there was no coherent definition of a monopoly price (i.e. it is indistinguishable from a market price).

Hopefully that'll give you some good starting points.

> You have no choose if they remove Net Neutrality.

Tommy opens a lemonaid stand on his street. He offers a great product for a great price and is rewarded with lots of happy customers. However, Tommy gets greedy and decides to triple his prices and water down the lemonaid to make more money. One of the customers complains and her daugher Sally opens a stand of her own just a few houses down. Sally charges half of what you do and doesn't water down her lemonaid. Now Sally has all of Tommy's customers - even his mom.

> Arkansas is already under Comcast monopoly.

False, but again, this is mostly irrelevant as net neutrality will not magically give consumers more ISP choices.

> Economic history shows that business will reach monopolies without the government regulation.

Negative. History shows that 99.999% of monopolies occur when government creates them.

> Look up Antitrust Laws.

Already have. Read this. TL;DR anti-trust laws historically punish entrepreneurs for driving down prices. They are anti-consumer.

> Also you're not paying cheaper for sites you don't use, and saying "oh well I don't use these kinds of sites so it isn't detrimental to me" is shitty because that's why cable television is so shitty now.

Totally wrong. The government regulates broadcast TV! I would cite that as a huge reason netflix, amazon prime, etc are doing so well. Your position is to extend this regulation to the internet too! Granted, I concede that the Obama Administration did a good job of not using title II powers but that's only one administration.

>Also site a source about MetroPCS incident.

Here ya go.
