Monopolists
ExpiredInformation tell us that in the last few months foreign exchange rate for euro has fell for more than ten percents, and the price of the gasoline has decreased even more. However, both the economic and common sense logic urge us that the prices of goods should follow that trend, which is however, not happening. In searching for possible explanations why this is so, the question of the monopolies is inevitably opened up, and of their, of course, negative impact on the market.
Prohibition of monopoly, free market, protection of customers are imperative for modern society and therefore the public must have access to information about the existence and influence of the monopolies. However, it is hard that we have done something like that, without speaking about, in most cases negative and as a rule pretty general answers of the public officials on random questions by the public, if this or that tycoon in this or that area has installed a monopoly.
The public must have access to all the relevant information about this important issue.
