SUMMARY:Monopoly through Oligopoly – Modern Competition Law - Zach Lenox

DESCRIPTION:In many industries today\, such as air travel\, banking\, inte
 rnet search or social networking\, there are only a few major competitors 
 in any domestic market. Those large companies’ shares are often held by 
 a few prominent investment companies like Blackrock\, State Street\, or Fi
 delity. Recent econometric research suggests that this market structure: o
 ligopolistic industries owned by oligopolistic investors\, leads to monopo
 listic behavior. What should we make of this econometric research? How has
  ownership of oligopolistic companies become so concentrated in the first 
 place? And\, what can we do about these modern monopolies?
