Are monopolies intrinsically evil?

As the term is used here, monopolies are not intrinsically evil (big is not inherently evil), nor are monopolies subjectively evil (good or evil judged by public vote, or polls); monopolies are good or evil depending on how they are formed. If formed according to the laws of the free market — capitalism — they are objectively good. If formed through irrational political policies they are objectively evil.
