I just read this incredibke article that has to do with many things in microecon. It talks aboup the rice industry in the philippines. More specifically, about the competition between the local producers and a monopoly that involves importation. It is an actual situation where you have Monopoly vs. perfect competition. You should read it!!!

I found this article interesting even if it still has to do with microeconomics. I tals about the meat monopolistic competition in U.S. that is more of a monopoly than a perfect competition. It describes how the monopoly have negative externalitites because of poor animal treatment and conludes by stating that the market should become more competitive and differentiated.

This article shows the best current example of perfectly competitive market which occurs in India on the market of buses, trucks, lorries and light vehicle. It is caused by the great number of companies which take part in this market.

This article published in the Telegraph regards the purchase of up-and-coming Israeli mapping program Waze for an estimated $1bn. The move is one that serves to increase Google's monopolistic stance in the digital mapping industry, as the purchase restricts the availability of effective substitutes to map services owned by Google.
