I encourage everyone to watch/listen to Peter Thiel's "Why Monopolies Are a Good Thing."
Thiel is a objectivist (Ayn Rand acolyte). This puts him in a position to argue a libertarian/conservative-like position, but with a very different moral framework.
The idea that economics is a morally-neutral science is hard to find evidence for irl.
Divide economists into "Austrians," "Monetarists," "Keynesians" "Marxists," etc. They will divide politically, epistemologically and ethical philosophy into their respective schools. That is just how it is.
Anyway... Peter. His talk on monopolies reaches convergence on various points that don't normally.
