Monopoly is efficient because it promotes growth in market sectors by engaging products in a competitive environment. That's what a monopoly does NOT do.

An INefficient monopoly is one where the monopolist gets fat and happy, secure in his knowledge anyone who uses the product he sells has to get it from him, and curtails innovation (since everyone's buying the stuff anyway, why bother?), cheapens the product he's selling and raises the price beyond all justification.
