Characteristics of monopoly:

-Price is higher than in other market structure (competition drives the prizes down)

There are significant barriers to entry (these barriers are what allows the monopoly to remain in place)

Characteristics of competition:

an efficient quantity is produced (market regulates what this quantity is)

Firms can earn positive economic profit in the long run. (in a monopoly they are not given this chance)

Firms have no market power. (this is true: the other companies, other than the monopoly have no power)
