REALISM OF PERFECT COMPETITION: Perfect competition is an idealized market structure that does NOT exist in the real world.

Some industries come close on the large number of small firms and the identical product characteristics. A few industries have relatively good, although not perfect, information about prices and technology. However, almost all industries fall far short of the perfect mobility characteristics.
