The public policy to combat market power is through the Federal Trade Commission. They can prevent mergers, let mergers go through with the condition of selling some assets in which there is concentrated market power. Also the Department of Justice can litigate and even break up large companies such as it has done with Standard Oil and AT&T.

What economic system does India have?

The Indian economy is the world's twelfth largest according to market exchange rates. It is also the fourth largest economy by purchasing power parity (PPP) basis. From 1947 to 1991, the India Economic System was based on social democratic-based policies. The policies feature protectionism, extensive regulation and public ownership which led to slow growth and corruption. But the economy has moved to a market-based system with economic liberalization starting in 1991. The growth rate of the economy increased in 2000's with healthier economic reforms and policies. India became the second-fastest growing major economy in the world by 2008.
