The tension between centrality, on the one hand, and competition, on the other, is probably the oldest of all market structure issues.

I think every market has lot of things in common, and at the same time, every market has lot of different things.
It's competition that forces companies to get out of their complacency.
When you love competition, you don't want the market to consolidate.
As they grow, companies saturate their markets, become more complex and difficult to manage, and face larger and more entrenched competitors.
As someone with a deep faith in competition and the market, I also know that markets only work with tough enforcement of the rules that guarantee competition and fair play - and that the pressure to break those rules only gets stronger as the amount of money involved gets larger.
Marketplaces by their nature tend to grow faster than most other companies.
There's a lot of businesses that are working hard, who are at the top of their games. Therefore, it's always going to be a market share fight.
We see ourselves as first helping to open up markets to competition.
A society is not a market. It is a political community.
The market turns out to be just one special case of collective decision-making.
