anti-monopoly movements

Anti-monopoly movements aim to prevent the concentration of economic power in a few large companies, ensuring fair competition. When one firm dominates an industry, it can stifle innovation, limit choices, and potentially harm consumers through higher prices or reduced quality. These movements support regulations and policies that encourage smaller businesses, prevent unfair practices, and promote a healthy, competitive marketplace. By doing so, they help sustain a dynamic economy where innovation and consumer interests are protected, reducing the risks associated with monopolies or neo-monopolies that can harm societal welfare.
