What do you think about antitrust? 5. What do you think about anti monopoly?

Anti-monopoly is not to suppress giants, but to hold down giants and give innovative small and medium-sized enterprises the opportunity to grow. Judging from the 70-year history of antitrust in the United States, after every anti-monopoly, there will be a wave of innovation.

Innovation requires a lot of intellectual and financial investment, and the stakes are high. On the contrary, innovation will break the monopoly, so in order to protect the interests of the monopoly, large companies not only lack the motivation to innovate, but also try to stifle the innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises, or take it for themselves. For example, it was because of the time to Microsoft.

Antitrust in the field of browsers, Google.

It was not strangled in the young.

It should be noted that antitrust is not against market share.

Monopolize the x86 CPU market, and Adobe monopolizes digital image processing.

The market does not violate the anti-monopoly law.

The anti-monopoly in the United States is that if a giant company uses its monopoly position in one field to carry out monopolistic behavior in another field, such behavior will be subject to monopoly accusations.

It's understandable why the index, which is dominated by small and medium-sized innovative companies, performed better on Monday.

But it should also be noted that the science and technology route changes rapidly, scientific and technological innovation is a field with a high elimination rate, and the elimination rate of small and medium-sized technology enterprises is higher, and there are many small and medium-sized companies with pseudo technology themes in the a** field, so although there will be many big bulls in the technology sector in the future, technology stocks are actually very difficult to understand investment. Investing in this field is very difficult and you have to be very careful.

Capital is chasing profits, and when it forms a monopoly, it will occupy a dominant position in the market, and it can make money lying down, and it will usually violate market rules and the principle of fair competition, and infringe on the rights and interests of consumers. This will instead become a stumbling block to scientific and technological progress, industry development and social progress.

Wall Street in the United States can play a game of drumming and passing flowers, harvesting leeks one by one, and then throwing a mess to the United States** and the world; Some industrial giants and technology giants in the United States can lobby**, play revolving door games, engage in monopolistic operations, and suck the blood of the country and the people. This is the modern plundering of capital. China is a socialist country, how can it allow capital to run rampant.

A business is considered a monopolist if it is the sole seller of a product and there are no similar substitutes on the market. The most serious consequence of monopoly is that it will bring rent-seeking behavior, and the industries protected by monopoly will get excess profits, and enterprises will engage in rent-seeking activities for the sake of monopoly status, thereby reducing efficiency.

Legal analysis: In order to prevent and stop monopolistic behaviors and protect fair competition in the market, we should improve the efficiency of economic operation, safeguard the interests of consumers and the public interest, and promote the healthy development of the socialist market economy.

Legal basis: Anti-Monopoly Law of the People's Republic of China

Article 1: This Law is enacted so as to prevent and stop monopolistic conduct, protect fair competition in the market, increase the efficiency of economic operations, safeguard the interests of consumers and the public interest, and promote the healthy development of the socialist market economy.

Article 2 This Law shall apply to monopolistic conduct in economic activities within the territory of the People's Republic of China; This Law shall apply to monopolistic conduct outside the territory of the People's Republic of China that excludes or restricts the impact of competition in the domestic market.

First of all, we need to know what a monopoly is. Monopolies are divided into natural monopolies, resource monopolies, and administrative monopolies.

The following is the definition of a monopoly.

Natural Monopoly: The cost of production makes one producer more efficient than a large number of producers. This is the most common form of monopoly.

Resource monopoly: Key resources are owned by one company, such as TVB's dubbing industry.

In the course of the development of the capitalist economy, free competition leads to the concentration of production, and the development of concentration of production to a certain stage will inevitably lead to monopoly. When monopoly replaces free competition and dominates economic life, capitalism develops to the stage of imperialism, i.e., monopoly capitalism.

Monopoly is not entirely disadvantageous, for example, natural monopoly can make all resources achieve the optimal solution, such as railways, the specifications of the track can be designed by a company, this monopoly is optimal for the allocation of resources.

A resource monopoly is one in which only one company produces goods. For example, the behavior of a treasure e-commerce platform forcing merchants to choose between it and a certain east e-commerce platform is already suspected of monopoly, and such a monopoly is very unfavorable to market competition. If the state does not stop it, the market share of a treasure continues to exceed 50%, after the formation of an absolute monopoly, the market of the e-commerce platform will lose its vitality, and consumers can only choose a treasure for online shopping, this situation is unfavorable to both the market and consumers, so the state should interfere, can not make it have the ability to monopolize and control prices, to let the market has always been a state of competition, because competition can allow enterprises to progress each other, accelerate the iterative upgrading of technology, and the cost decline is also greater and faster,** It is also cheaper and more affordable for consumers.

What is Monopoly? It is the act of having the initiative in a market and abusing the initiative.

It can be a demand-side monopoly or a supply-side monopoly. The most common in economic life is a supply-side monopoly.

There are many people who believe that real monopoly only occurs in administrative monopoly, and that market behavior does not produce monopoly.

They believe that the large enterprises that dominate the market and have the initiative are not monopolies.

Because such an enterprise is developed in the fierce market competition, even after development, such an enterprise also faces external competition.

In order to maintain a competitive edge, these companies strive to improve their technology and serve their customers.

What an ideal! Just like a fantasy.

The above views are mainly those of the Chicago School. Sounds hilarious . These economists naively see these big companies as "holy enterprises".

The fact is that once they have the initiative to hit the market, there is a high probability that these large enterprises will suppress their competitors, especially the small and medium-sized enterprises.

At this time, the competition is not efficient, and it is a typical inefficient competition. The monopolistic behavior of large enterprises is a key factor in inefficient competition.

In reality, there are many cases of large enterprises suppressing micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. In some industries, it is still more obvious.

Marshall made it clear that competition creates a monopoly. This means that he has realized the damage that monopoly does to efficiency.

Anti-monopoly and building an economic order of fair competition are the inherent requirements for improving the socialist market economy system and promoting high-quality development. Over the past 13 years, the anti-monopoly legal system and institutional mechanisms that are in line with China's national conditions have gradually taken shape and become increasingly perfect: in terms of the substantive system, it has absorbed the general consensus of the global anti-monopoly law on concessions, which includes the prohibition of monopoly agreements, the prohibition of abuse of market dominance, and the review of concentration of undertakings; According to the actual situation in China, the rule of "prohibiting the abuse of administrative power to eliminate or restrict competition" has been added, which is regulated as an independent monopolistic behavior, fully reflecting the attitude of respecting the law, seeking truth from facts, and being objective and pragmatic; The dual-track anti-monopoly law enforcement and judicial practice have played a positive role in preventing and stopping monopolistic behaviors and shaping a free and fair market competition order.

Only a fair and competitive market environment can forge competitive operators, and only a fair and competitive market environment can encourage innovation to improve the level of competition. Anti-monopoly work should be carried out with equal emphasis on development and regulation. On the one hand, law enforcement and justice should be legalized and standardized, administration and adjudication should be carried out in accordance with the law, and the standards for the application of law should be unified, so as to normalize anti-monopoly.

On the other hand, anti-monopoly is not aimed at punishing, but should give full play to its guiding role, guide market entities to operate in compliance, promote high-quality economic development, achieve stable and long-term economic development, social stability and harmony, and make people's lives better.
