After capitalism enters the monopoly stage, the relationship between monopoly and competition is

After capitalism entered the monopoly stage, the relationship between monopoly and competition was that monopoly and competition coexisted, and capitalism replaced feudalism, which greatly promoted the development of productive forces. However, with the development of productive forces, the basic contradiction of capitalism-the contradiction between socialization of production and capitalist private ownership is also developing. Capitalist production has turned the former personal means of production into socialization, that is, the means of production used by a large number of people. Production itself has also changed from a series of personal actions to a series of social actions, and products have also changed from personal products to social products.

1, two stages of capitalist development: free competition capitalism and monopoly capitalism.

2. Monopoly and competition

(1) Monopoly cannot eliminate competition.

Monopoly is formed from free competition, which is the opposite of free competition. But monopoly can't eliminate competition, but it is above competition and coexists with it. The main reasons of competition in monopoly capitalism stage;

First of all, monopoly does not eliminate the economic conditions of competition. Competition is the universal law of commodity economy. After the emergence of monopoly, the commodity economy based on capitalist private ownership has not been eliminated. Second, monopoly must be maintained through competition. When each monopoly organization develops through competition, it needs to constantly enhance its competitive strength and consolidate its monopoly position. Third, there is no monopoly organization covering all sectors and all social production. Under monopoly conditions, there is extensive and fierce competition within monopoly organizations, between monopoly organizations and monopoly capital groups, between monopoly organizations and non-monopoly organizations, and between small and medium-sized enterprises.

(2) the new characteristics of competition under monopoly conditions

Compared with free competition, competition under monopoly conditions has some new characteristics. Monopoly of financial capital for the purpose of competition in capitalist countries. The main purpose of free competition is to obtain more profits or excess profits and continuously expand the accumulation of capital. The main purpose of competition under monopoly conditions is to obtain high monopoly profits and consolidate and expand the existing monopoly position. In terms of means of competition, free competition mainly adopts economic means, while under monopoly conditions, the means of competition are more diverse, not only economic means, but also non-economic means, making the competition more complicated and intense; On the scope of competition, in the period of free competition, competition is mainly in the economic field, mainly in the domestic market, while in the period of monopoly, the scale of competition has expanded, covering all fields and departments, from domestic to foreign. In short, the competition under monopoly conditions is large in scale, long in time, cruel in means, more intense and more destructive.
