monopoly is extremely rare in a free market because you'ld need to buy out any competition that pops up and still offer the best products at the lowest costs, which is good for everyone. Most monopolies exist today because of govt intervention, regulating competitors out of business. the epipen fiasco is the most recent example I can think of.

corporate consolidation is also very costly, but even if it did happen, who cares? As long as said oligarchy provides what the people want, they will buy. If some super-rich camarilla decided to start dumping poison into the river, then people would get pissed stop buying their shit. Those pissed off people would then seek to do business elsewhere. Evildoing is bad for business. In a free market, people vote with their wallets, because capitalism afford the individual the greatest amount of freedom and control of his life.
