How does Monopolistic Competition differ from Oligopolistic Competition?

∙ 13y ago
"Monopolistic Competition" is, unless I'm missing something, an oxymoron. "Monopoly" implies "no competitors," so who, precisely, is the monopoly supposed to be competing with?
In an oligopoly, there are a few competitors, so there actually could be some competition; however, the term is generally used in a trust situation where the "competitors" more or less agree not to actually compete.
