Resources monopoly

Resources monopoly

In economics, a resources monopoly arises because one firm owns all of the resources necessary to produce the good or service.

An example of a resource monopoly is De Beers, a diamond mining company. De Beers owns the mines where diamonds are found. By controlling this resource, De Beers is able to gain monopoly powers.
