    I think that it has to be something balanced, the economy has to be free to develop itself, so the governments should allow this and not strange it.

    Monopolies won't ever occur in a truly free market. There will always be new companies that pop up and are created by market competition. Regulations are mostly a negative. Obviously you need to protect workers with some safety regulations and such, but a lot of the regulations in place today are nothing more than hidden taxes on free enterprise.

    I think that regulation is necessary to avoid monopoly of course and other unhealthy situation, but apart from that the market should be free.

    Agreed with this. Pelosi's "But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it" mentality is pretty much the nadir of legislative insanity.
