> The ultimate cure for monopoly behaviour is a smaller government and more competition by avoiding regulations that favour larger operations over smaller ones.

That would be the libertarian fantasy, but no, unfortunately that is entirely incorrect.

The "regulations" that you assume make monopolies possible is really unrestricted capitalism in itself, which leads to accumulation of capital in the hands of one or few, often colluding entities.

Capitalism favors larger operations over smaller ones through efficiencies of scale. There is no human-created regulations that do this.
