"Take for example Judge Learned Hand 's indictment of ALCOA . What 'crimes ' was ALCOA punished for ? To quote Hand : `` It was not inevitable that it should always anticipate increases in the demand for ingot and be prepared to supply them . Nothing compelled it to keep doubling and redoubling its capacity before others entered the field . It insists that it never excluded competitors ; but we can think of no more effective exclusion than progressively to embrace each new opportunity as it opened , and to face every new- comer with new capacity already geared into a great organization , having the advantage of experience , trade connections and the elite of personnel. `` [ Alan Greenspan , `` Antitrust `` published in Ayn Rand 's Capitalism : The Unknown Ideal ] In other words ALCOA was being punished for being too good a company , too competent in its management , in other words Alcoa 's crime is that it is too competitive ."
"And would not being 'too competitive ' lead to a monopoly ? ( if not for govenment action )"
