Market Competition and Regulation
Market competition refers to the rivalry between businesses to attract customers and increase sales, leading to better quality products and services at lower prices. This competition encourages innovation and efficiency. Regulation involves government rules designed to ensure fair practices, protect consumers, and prevent monopolies, where one company dominates the market. Regulations can address issues like safety, environmental impact, and fair pricing. Together, market competition and regulation aim to balance business interests with public welfare, fostering a healthy economy that benefits both consumers and producers.
