- Market control.
- Market control is the ability of a firm to control the price and/or quantity of the good sold.
- Most real world firms are not price takers. They have some degree of market control.
- What does this mean?
- First, because many firms in the real world have some degree of market control, they have the ability to charge a price that is a little more (or a lot more) or a little less (or a lot less) than the going market price.
- Second, real world firms with market control do not have equality between price and marginal revenue.
- Third, the inequality between price and marginal revenue means that profit-maximizing firms that equate marginal revenue and marginal cost do NOT equate price and marginal cost.
- Fourth, perfect competition is most important in evaluating the degree of inefficiency of real world firms.

"always remember an epitaph which is in the cemetery at Tombstone, Arizona. It says: „Here lies Jack Williams. He done his damnedest.¾ I think that is the greatest epitaph a man can have ‚ When he gives everything that is in him to do the job he has before him. That is all you can ask of him and that is what I have tried to do. " -- Harry Truman, 33rd US president
