There are no limits in a real world economy on agreements, contracts etc between actors. Monopoly is a very closed system and in no way represents a real free economy.

I think you're confused about the definition of a monopoly. Most monopolies or cartels rise organically but then achieve such a dominant position that it becomes impossible for upstarts to challenge them.
