We read about anti-trust investigations, markets controlled by a few big players and competitive industries in the United States. American textbooks are filled with examples and cases. For this assignment, economic market analysis will focus on a specific country. See the Course Data File for the mandatory Country focus.

Describe the company/industry and relate how it meets the definition. Provide historical background as to why the country benefits from the monopolist status. (1 page) Research Required.
