Ее история сводится к тому, что в конце XIX и начале XX в. в инфраструктурных отраслях имела место ожесточенная конкуренция, что, разумеется, не нравилось самим производителям. Сначала они добились от правительства предоставления им монопольного статуса, а затем при поддержке ряда видных экономистов задним числом было сконструировано обо снование этой монополизации. Заканчивается статья утверждением о том, что в американской экономике XXI в. для нее места нет. Есть ли место монополии в российской экономике XXI в.?</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>In the article the author analyzes the growth of natural monopolies in the USA and comes to the conclusion that the theory of the natural monopoly is an economic fiction. It goes back to the idea that at the end of the XIX and beginning of the XX century there was tough competition in infrastructural areas which obviously was not favored by manufactures. First of all they made the administration grant them the monopoly status; afterwards with the support of some prominent economists they constructed the grounds for the monopolization. The article ends with the opinion that there is no place for it in the US economy of the XXI century. Is there any place for the monopoly in the Russian economy of the XXI century?</p></trans-abstract></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Ely R.
