Market competition alone prevents monopolies from forming.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 4 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that market competition alone prevents monopolies from forming?

Unclear. Several sources indicate competition does not by itself prevent monopolies: network effects in social media markets produced quasi-monopolies, natural monopolies make competition unlikely or costly, and one text argues competition itself tends to breed monopoly. None of the items fully settles the sweeping claim, but they consistently point against it.
