Grad Research on U.S. Monopoly Structures & Their Societal Impact – Input Appreciated

Hello there,

I’m doing academic research on how the U.S. economy is viewed—especially regarding competition, market power, and wealth concentration.

As someone who values free markets and limited government, your perspective matters—especially on issues like:

• Whether today’s big firms reflect real market success or state-backed oligopoly

• The shrinking space for competition in key industries

• How policies might be helping the rich get richer, instead of supporting a level playing field

The survey is anonymous, takes 4-5 minutes, and your responses will help challenge the usual one-sided takes on these topics.

Here’s the link:
