Opis

Conventional theory and policy either assume that markets are perfectly competitive or that they are imperfectly competitive, thus leading to prevailing views on monopoly. This book takes a radically different approach to the analysis of competition by rejecting the perfect vs. imperfect competition dichotomy.
