Therefore, we sought to identify regulatory costs and their indirect interference in the quantity of companies within industries, that creates a favorable scenario for the emergence of monopolies. Rothbard’s (2009) proposition about the condition of the existence of monopolies is correct, but it can be complemented with an analysis of an indirect and unintentional creation of monopolies by the State.</p>}, journal={MISES: Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy, Law and Economics}, author={Paranaiba, Adriano and Mazzoni, João Fernando Rossi}, year={2023}, month={Apr.} }
