Whereas the competitive market was a price taker, the monopolistic is a price maker. It has control over the price. Examples of monopolistic firms are public services like the electric, water, and the United States Postal Service (USPS). The rate for the USPS has declined in the last couple of years because of poor service.

By DIPANKAR CHAKRAVARTY PREFACE The Armchair Economist: Economics and Everyday Life is a economics book written by noted professor of economics Sir Steven Landsburg. The book is a collection of routine examples illustrating important economic and financial theories.The underlying theme of the book, as Landsburg states on the first page, is that most of economics can be summarized in four words: “People respond to incentives.” In the first few chapters, Author tried to explain the Responsiveness towards Incentives with quite a many examples such as Accidents, safety legislations, etc. He also tried to explain the rationality issues with the economist’s slogan-De gustibus nonest disputandum—there's no accounting for tastes.

A monopoly is a market structure in which a single supplier produces and sells the product. If there is a single seller in a certain industry and there are no close substitutes for the goods being produced, then the market structure is that of a "pure monopoly". Sometimes, there are many sellers in an industry and/or there exist many close substitutes for the goods being produced, but nevertheless firms retain some market power.
Co-ordination: Markets and Organisations are most common exchange co-ordinators. In case of market consumers buy the quantity of goods or services they demand and producers sell the quantity they supply at market price. The price mechanism ensures efficiency and there are no shortages or surpluses. In case of organisation, authority is the co-ordinating mechanism as the decision makers allocate resources in organisation. Ronald Coase in 1937 suggested that the existence of transaction cost i.e.
