Capitalism itself has no moral standpoint...
Yeah, this. How can freedom to compete in an open market, where you're not allowed to hurt people and steal people's stuff, be immoral?

If you have a monopoly then you do not have incentives to provide "superior service" as you do not have any real competition
Incentive is hold on to what you have and keep other from starting a business to compete with you.If you have a monopoly then you do not have incentives to provide "superior service" as you do not have any real competition

That's what the term means. It's an unavoidable monopoly. You can always go to a socialist country instead if you can get a passport in time before you die.
Monopoly is not unavoidable. If this is the case, counties and dynasty will last forever rather than fade into history and being replaced by a better managed country/dynasty.
Technology advancement speed up the process of downfall.
Monopoly is fine if the company is providing an efficient and superior service.

An enforced monopoly would be a problem. With an open market the monopolistic entity would have to provide a great product at a fair price to avoid other companies entering the market and successfully competing. The problem we have now is that our governments support large oligopolies.
And the governments supporting the oligopolies are slowly being price out of the market.

So it's ethical to overcharge for a lamp, but unethical to overcharge for healthcare?
What is your definition of over charging?
Buyers don't buy based on price alone. You need to take trust, after sales service into account.
The term "overcharging" cannot be easily defined. It is fair to allow people to make a profit off of the time and capital they invest in their business.
The only true way to "overcharge" someone for something is to charge a price that is above the market rate, but if you charged this much then you would not be able to sell your product/service.
What planet are you from that doesn't have salesmen?
Buyer also bear responsibility for buying over price cap for not doing their own homework.
Same reasoning for choosing the right doctor to trust and the right care provider.
With internet, people can find out which doctor is scum bag very fast if they do their homework.

A salesman will try to get you to buy their specific product, or a product that you may not otherwise purchase. They would still need to charge a "fair" price, otherwise even if you are "sold" on the product you would not buy from the salesmen, and/or would buy the product from another channel
I'm totally against you, capitalism is the root of all evil, and has nothing to do with morals.
I did see that you ignored socialism and communism and yes I'm a Communist.
When you are giving the chance for people to be seen how much they COST MORE, then don't talk about morals.

No. Why do you differentiate between types of products and services? In the free market, you offer something for a price, and there is no unethical price. In the non-free market, the question doesn't even need an answer, because it is not you the customer, or you the merchant, or you the doctor who decides. It is the one dominating over you, based on his physical power to harm you.
