More About monopoly
Long ago, some big companies tried to own all the things. They wanted to be the only ones to sell. This made it hard for other shops to sell too. People did not like this.
In our lives, we see this when one store is the only place to buy a toy. If you want that toy, you must pay what they ask. This is not fair for kids.
In the future, we can help by buying from many shops. This way, we can keep prices fair and have more choices.
