Yes I did read it. Why do you suspect I had not? To be more explicit, I wouldn't agree it's most often the government making monopolies. There are plenty of cases where government regulators are captured by 'natural' monopolists (or otherwise large players) who then entrench themselves with regulatory moats, serving only their interests. And even government made monopolies aren't _well_ regulated IMO, for example telcos. A freer market would need controls to prevent consolidation from locking in customers by simply buying up all the spectrum and lobbyists.
