I generally agree with Karl's article, except that I'm not sure that I agree
that monopolies are becoming less feasible.  These days, I think there are
several oligopolies which have formed through parallel thinking.  The actions
of the american car manufactures are a case in point.  Before the imports
could mount a significant assault on the US market, the Big Three were making
much the same cars, at the same prices.  As industries age, I think this is
going to become more common.  Obviously, however, this is not an irresistable
force.
