    There were some huge holes in his "expectation of monopolizing causes innovation" argument. It might cause some innovation but it will quickly come to a halt. That was the reason for the U.S's lawsuit against the big capitalists post WW1. If you take a look at what Rockefeller was up to, or the owners of the North American train lines, or something as simple as the feud between Edison and Tesla, you would see people trying to halt innovation in order to keep their monopolies.
    Even his own argument with Microsoft overtaking IBM, this wasn't because of innovation, Microsoft already supplied IBM with software, so they could simply sell IBM inferior software and overtake them by keeping the best software for their own products.
    This channel has produced some great videos, but this video seems ill informed and slightly biased.

    • @BusinessCasual

      So, the main focus of this video is "creative" monopolies; i.e. monopolies that emerge from the invention of something new. I wholeheartedly agree with you that monopolies in the US have been among the worst offenders in capitalist history for abuse of power and stifling competition, which is why in the video I try to make a distinction between them and the monopolies which innovate and create wealth without hurting consumers.

      The difference between creative monopolies and the conventional type that involves government intervention via antitrust law is that creative monopolies only last as long as the innovation that they continue to pump out, or the demand they continue to receive from consumers. The moment their production begins to stagnate is when consumers begin to seek a new alternative to replace the creative monopoly, and it is from there that the original order collapses in a process called creative destruction.
