De Viti deals with the sources of monopoly power mainly in an article against the public running of the
telephone industry (De Viti 1890). The article is written with the aim of demonstrating that the telephoneindustry is not a public service. For De Viti, public services are characterized by two features: a) they aremonopolies; b) they satisfy a collective want. He claims that while to some extent the first feature waspresent in the telephone industry, there was not, and there was not going to be, a collective need for thetelephone (it was 1890). Hence, in his opinion, there was no need for it to be nationalized, but only regulatedby the State through licences, as we will see this context De Viti gives many explanations of the causes of monopolies. The first one is thefollowing:
“big private monopolies […] are the characteristic phenomenon of the present anization
and the natural result of three causes: division of labour, competition and big enterprises. The action of
combining these forces in various ways leads to the triumph on the market of the most powerful and anized firm which, by reducing to the minimum its general expenses, could offer its products at the bestprice and knock out the peting firms”(De Viti 1890: 288-289).
