         <description><![CDATA[<div>Because there are so many different businesses that make clothes, shoes, body care, etc. there's a wide variety and choice of products you can buy. For example, if you are buying sneakers, there are many shoe businesses like Nike, Adidas, and Underarmour. They all make sneakers but all slightly different.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It's fairly easy to join a monopolistic competition. Unlike a monopoly, there are countless sellers. There are hundreds of clothing stores, shoe brands, perfume brands, etc. It makes it easier for businesses to have a chance to reach the top. For example, if someone wants to make an organic soap business, it will be easy because there are many and isn't a single business run by one seller.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Excess of businesses</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Because there are so many fast food restaurants, clothing stores, and grocery stores, there is an excess of businesses, which also leads to waste. For example, if a small town has a Walmart as the only grocery store, everyone will go there. If they add a Target and Cub, the number of people at each store is low, then more products are wasted.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Some monopolistic businesses raise their prices higher than perfect competition businesses because their products differentiate from others so they can have some sort of power over the market. For example, Gucci, Dior, and Louis Vuitton hold more power over clothing businesses like Hollister and Pacsun because they raise their prices more than other businesses.</div>]]></description>
