This topic is essential for understanding how markets operate, how prices are set, and how firms behave in different competitive environments. You will learn: • What perfect competition is • Key features: many buyers & sellers, identical products, no entry barriers • Why firms are price takers • How supply and demand set the price • The role of efficiency in perfectly competitive markets • Real-world examples such as fruit & vegetable markets and agricultural sectors in the UK Understanding perfect competition will help you compare it to other market structures, including monopoly, oligopoly, and monopolistic competition later in the playlist.
