An oligopoly is an industry or market dominated by a few firms selling a similar (undifferentiated) product.  This is called a "perfect oligopoly."  The few firms can behave in a harmful manner similar to how a [[monopoly]] behaves in overcharging customers or otherwise suppressing beneficial competition.

It is to be noted that Democrats often attempt to position themselves against oligopolies, despite having accepting large sums in donations from them, one of the most notable being contribution totaling over $48,000,000 from the oil company oligopoly. However, Republicans endorse heavily the idea of oligopolies such as the Oil industry, because these companies define the very basic core of capitalism, all while helping the average citizen.
