AFL: The abbreviation for the American Federation of Labor, which started as a collection of craft unions in 1886, this is now one half of the umbrella organization for labor unions in the United States (the AFL part of AFL-CIO). As a collection of craft unions, the AFL primarily represented skilled workers in particular occupations. However, it also contained unions representing unskilled industrial workers, which led to a rift among AFL members in 1938 and spawned the formation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). This rift was closed in 1955, when both joined together to form the AFL-CIO, which is the primary advocate for workers and labor unions in the United States.

- The monopolistic competition definition:
- Monopolistic competition is a market structure characterized by a large number of relatively small firms, each producing similar but not identical products, with ease of entry and exit, and relatively complete knowledge of prices and technology.
- Monopolistic competition is, in one sense, a cross between monopoly and perfect competition.
- Monopolistic competition is in another sense the real world's best attempt to achieve perfect competition.
- The inefficiency of monopolistic competition is so minimal that government intervention seldom occurs.
