Abstract

An effective economic system assumes the minimization of costs connected with the satisfaction of population needs and the operation of economics itself. The competition is the necessary mechanism to force companies to reduce costs. To provide such kind of pressure it is required to have a lot of companies producing similar products. Therefore, it is necessary for a competitive economics to implement a principle of maximum variety of companies operating in any branch. Reduction of the variety indicates that some forces prevent the execution of this principle.
