Hi, i have a problem,.. im finding this essay question very difficult to answer:

Discuss the proposition that a monopoly that makes supernormal profits is acting against the public interest.

How do I go about tackling this question? What are the things that monopolies do which acts against public interest?

Please help. Thanking you in advance.

Stifle competition, stifle free market, price fix, effective cartel, prevent other companies entering market through dubious means, possess political power (eg bribing government officials) that is not used for the people, but their own bottom line. I'm not an economics student, that's just off the top of my head. Don't know if it will help.
