The amount of product a firm is going to produce depends on the quantity demanded by the people. In economics it is called the supply.
The demand or quantity demanded is the amount that consumers will purchase or consume at a specific price.
Price-maker firms never want to produce within the inelastic part of the demand curve because there are few acceptable product substitutes, and a shorter adjustment period, which may impact overall production in a negative manner.
Demand-pull inflation: prices rise due to shortage; firms produce more and raise price to meet demand. Cost-push inflation: prices rise due to increasing costs of production; firms raise price in order to not produce less.
A monopolist is a Price Searcher. A price searcher is a seller (buyer) that can influence price by the amount that he or she sells (buys). In contrast to a price taker, a price searcher can raise its price and still sell its product, although not as many units as it could sell at a lower price. Firms in price-searcher markets are free to set price, but face strong competitive pressure, their competitions exists from existing firms and potential rivals. An alternative term for such markets is monopolistic competition. I found that price searchers produce differentiated products, products that differ in design, dependability, location, ease of purchase, etc.
A market structure characterized by a large number of firms producing the same product is known as perfect competition. In this structure, no single firm can influence the market price due to the homogeneity of the product and the presence of many competitors. Firms are price takers, meaning they accept the market price determined by supply and demand. This structure encourages efficiency and innovation, as firms strive to minimize costs and maximize output.

A strong government will protect a firm from being forced to sell its product at an unfairly low price. A strong government can achieve this limiting the amount of firms entering into a specific market.

To give a specific amount of something in exchange for a specific amount of something else at a specific rate or price.
No, oligopolists do not always compete on the basis of price. While price competition is one strategy, firms in an oligopoly often engage in non-price competition by differentiating their products, enhancing customer service, or investing in advertising. This is because price wars can erode profits for all firms involved, leading them to seek other competitive advantages. Ultimately, the nature of competition in an oligopoly depends on the market dynamics and the specific strategies of the firms involved.
