When one company out-sells another and the one that was out sold goes bankrupt, it is called a monoply.

Actually, a monopoly is when only one business has control over an industry.

The term for running another business out of business is called predatory capitalism. For instance, lets say you and I both sell Hot Dogs, and can both make a comfortable income at $1 each. Lets supposed I am wealthier than you already and really don't need the business. So I start selling hot dogs for twenty cents each. Yes, it would hurt me, but if you don't have the same resources, it would run you out of business. Then I could charge $2 each or whatever. I'd have all your customers and the freedom to charge what I want. So predatory capitalism can create a monopoly, but that is not the only way one is created.
