monopoly(垄断)是一个经济学和法律领域的重要概念,指在特定市场或行业中,只有一个卖家(或企业)控制某种商品或服务的全部(或绝大部分)供给,从而拥有排除竞争、操控价格和产量的市场支配地位。
其核心含义和特点包括:
引申含义: 在日常用语中,“monopoly”有时也用于比喻对某种事物或资源的独家控制权或独占权,例如“The company has a monopoly on talent in that field”(该公司在该领域拥有顶尖人才的垄断地位)。
权威参考来源:
“Monopoly” 是一个源自希腊语的词汇(monos 意为“单一”,polein 意为“销售”),字面含义为“独家销售”。它在不同语境中有以下核心含义:
经济学定义
指某一企业或集团在特定市场中占据绝对主导地位,无实质性竞争,可自主控制商品价格、供应量或服务条件。例如历史上的标准石油公司(Standard Oil)曾垄断美国石油业。
日常用法扩展
广义上可形容对资源、权力或信息的完全掌控,如“垄断技术专利”或“媒体垄断舆论”。
法律与政策关联
多数国家通过《反垄断法》限制垄断行为(如中国《反垄断法》第3条),以保护市场公平竞争和消费者权益。
商标与游戏名称
美国桌游《大富翁》的英文原名即“Monopoly”,因其玩法涉及地产收购与市场垄断机制而得名。
补充对比:与“oligopoly”(寡头垄断,少数企业控制市场)不同,垄断强调单一主体的独占性。反垄断措施(如拆分企业、罚款)常针对滥用垄断地位的行为(如微软1990年代的反垄断诉讼)。
