  • A review of the two remaining market structure options -- monopsonistic competition and oligopsony.

  • Oligopsony is a market structure dominated by a small number of large buyers controlling the buying-side of a market.

POLITICAL GAME

The political system can be thought of as a game, a contest between two groups of players. Rulers are the ones who set the rules. Rulees are the ones who must abide by the rules.

The study of public choice provides insight into the economic efficiency with which the political game is played.

"Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly. "
