Yet all of those monopolies either imploded, had their markets simply dry up, were out-innovated by smaller competitors, or investors just moved onto hotter fads.

The crashing and burning of a big monopoly may very well be a healthy event; but oh the damage they do before then...

Well it's not entirely clear that everything's great afterward either, since a lot of people are employed by any monopoly that crashes and burns and whole towns or regions can be devastated by that event.
