A market is considered an oligopoly when a few large companies control a large segment of the market. A Pure Monopolistic Market or Pure Monopoly occurs when there is only one company that creates a product or good and there are no substitutions available.

Does globalisation produce global inequalities within and between countries? Word Count (excluding bracketed citations): 2,190 Introduction From a Marxist perspective, globalisation produces inequality, through the ‘new imperialism’ of powerful and developed nations. This essay will argue, from a neoclassical perspective, using the work of Adam Smith, that if inequalities do exist, they are as a result of either market distortions, caused by interventions by the politically powerful, or as a result of other, separate, factors. Therefore, purely economic globalisation leading to a global free market, promotes growth and equality, while interventions from firms, governments and institutions based on power and politics distorts the market and creates inequality. Economic globalisation can be defined as the integration of a nation’s markets with those of other nations across the globe.

He believed in the concept of comparative advantage, the idea of nations to specialize in specific industries and trade with other nations for products not produced nationally. (David Ricardo) Comparative advantage is the foundation of industrialization as a means for globalisation. Classical economics was very much in fashion till the early 20th century with the advent of the Great Depression. John Maynard Keynes, a British economist, was the founder of Keynesian economics and the concept was first published in Keynes' book The General theory of Employment, Interest, and Money published during the Great Depression. (Keynesian Economics) Keynes attempted to explain the causes of the Great Depression, and how to to deal with the recession.
Different Market Structures There are 3 types of markets, one is Perfect Competition, another is Monopoly and lastly there is Oligopoly. Perfect Competition A definition of Perfect Competition is 'it exists when there are so many people in the market, and other conditions are such, that noone can influence the price, all other things being equal.' (BPP Business Organisations, Competition and Environment Chapter 4 Page 105) Perfect competition is very rare and it is so competitive that any individual buyer or seller has only a slight impact on the market price. Products are all the same and information is perfect. The products or services sold are exactly the same, which is known as 'homogeneous' which are all the same price.

Doyles 'Liberalism and World Politics' 1986, Doyle compares and contrasts three distinct theoretical traditions of liberalism attributable to three theorists; democratic capitalist Schumpeter, Machiavelli, and Kant. Doyle argues that liberal states although in theory are peaceful, they are also “prone to war.
As derived by Fisher (1930), when ‘perfect capital markets’ exist (see below for conditions), when a firm only chooses projects with a positive NPVs, they will maximise shareholder wealth. The following conditions for perfect capital markets are: - Same capital market interest rates, returns and prices for all - Free and equal access to capital markets - No participants have any market power over prices - All participants have the same information - No taxes that distort economic decisions Fisher’s separation theorem states that the firm’s investment decision is independent of the preferences of the owner, and that investment decision is independent of the financing decision. This means that investment and financing decision can be separated out, and that the type of owner the firm has does not need to be accounted for when making investment
These structures are: perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly and monopoly. Within these four market structures, government intervention is needed for various reasons. Perfect competition is a market structure that has a large number of buyers and sellers who have little to no influence over prices or output. Other features of a perfectly competitive market are; that there is freedom of entry and exit from the market, meaning that firms are able to establish themselves in the industry easily and quickly and that there are no barriers to entry. Also, all firms produce a homogenous product, with little to no branding, where products are perfect substitutes for each other in the market such as milk.
