The colonial government


brought monopolies



 to the United States!



Large companies were needed to complete


 the extensive public works required to make


 the New World welcoming to 


Old World immigrants.



The colonial administrators gave these 


businesses exclusive contracts for these projects. 


Due to the contracts and land they held, many 


of these colonials continued to operate despite


 the American Revolution.

Approximately ten companies



control all of our food. 

Almost everything we purchase 


is dominated by a small number


 of businesses. 




F.Y.I.


Lack of competition is a 


monopoly's defining trait, 


which can result in more expensive and 


sub-standard goods.

* The vast majority of well-known beauty brands


 are owned by 7 companies.


Seven incredibly immense manufacturers—


Estée Lauder Companies, L'Oréal, Unilever, 


Procter & Gamble, Shiseido, Johnson and Johnson, 


and Coty—  are collectively responsible for 182 


different beauty brands.


Thus, these conglomerates effectively dictate how 


the nation and the world perceives beauty by 


controlling the vast majority of the industry's 


advertising.

* Ten companies dominate the 


clothing industry.
