Definición

  • Monopolies (from the Greek monopolion, “one seller”) are markets with a single producer or distributor of a certain product or service. In addition, this exclusivity serves as a barrier to free market entry, product differentiation, and a stable (inelastic) demand for products due to the non-availability of close substitutes. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Problems; Monopolies]
