INTRODUCTION
1. Overview of the research
The topic "Antimonopoly in the socialist oriented market economy of our country today" has been long cherished by the fellow. The structure of the thesis consists of an introduction, overview of research issues, three chapters, 8 periods, appendix, list of scientific works of the author, list of references. The main part of the thesis focuses on three chapters with 148 page volume presenting the fundamental problems that the fellow chooses to study, to answer the core questions which the fellow himself poses and needs to address, such as: anti-monopoly in the socialist-oriented market economy in our country today then who is going to fight? What to fight? And how to fight?
2. Reasons for choosing the thesis topic
Monopoly or market control is the dream of most businesses to survive and grow without facing competition. In fact, the formation of monopolies in the market very easily leads to the situation that these enterprises will abuse that position to obtain high monopoly profits, negatively affecting the economy, society and consumers as well. When having a monopoly position, enterprises entirely are possible to manipulate the market according to their market power.
Recognizing the negative impacts of monopoly, the Party advocated to "narrow the fields that the State now has trading monopolies, eliminate monopoly", and "improve the mechanism, policy for the State enterprises to actually operate in a competitive, open, transparent environment, improve efficiency. Eliminate monopoly and exclusive business and production of state-owned enterprises". However, monopoly situation still exists with many complicated happenings. Meanwhile, antimonopoly activitiy still reveals many limitations, yet high performance, discrimination between businesses still exists; action against unreasonable price fixing is ineffective, the phenomenon of rising prices, protecting the interests of the State have been violated and exploited to serve a group of people, people are not entitled to all the benefits that society has created, which has influenced significantly on the economic and social activity of our country. Besides, with the market opening process through the signing and joining of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, there have been multinational companies operating in Vietnam. With there economic strength, these companies have the ability to create a monopoly position to carry out their market power. The status of eliminating rivals to usurp the market, establish monopoly position will occur. In this context, Vietnam enterprises with limited potential are vulnerable, or manipulated to become subsidiaries, satellite companies for such corporations. The above raises the suspicion surrounding antimonopoly now in our country today.

The requirement is to further clarify theoretically and practically those above issues, from that, propose points of view and appropriate solutions in antimonopoly to meet the requirements of building a stable and developed economy. With this meaning, the author selected the topic: "Antimonopoly in the socialist oriented market economy of our country today" as a doctoral thesis on economics.

It is possible to say that the foreign and domestic authors have had many studies and articles with various approach, extent, scope and purpose, more or less mentioned about monopoly and antimonopoly.
However, because they are not the research subjects, the works and writings of domestic and foreign authors do not study in depth in a systematic way anti-monopoly in the socialist oriented market economy, but just mentioned, analysed the single aspects, sides, slice or a part of the research object i.e. anti-monopoly in the market economy.
Meanwhile, there are not many scientific works refering directly to antimonopoly or aspects in antimonopoly from the perspective of political economy, but they often study the opposition side of monopoly i.e competition, creating a competitive environment in the socialist-oriented market economy. Many scientific works mention antimonopoly issues and antimonopoly aspects under jurisprudence perspective, interpretation of specific issues of legal science. So this is the space for the fellow to do well in the thesis.
Chapter 1
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION ON ANTIMONOPOLY IN THE SOCIALIST ORIENTED MARKET ECONOMY AND EXPERIENCE OF SOME COUNTRIES
1.1. The general theoretical issues on monopoly, enterprise monopoly in the market economy
1.1.1. The concept of monopoly, enterprise monopoly
* Under the perspective of bourgeois economists
The economists of mercantilism are in favor of monopoly of national capitalist in international trade. Physiocracy condemned privileges and feudal monopoly; they do advocate that the State shall not intervent in the economy. The classical school promotes free competition, against the interference of the state in economy. Neoclassical synthesis provides the theory of both competition and monopoly. Austrian school does not advocate development of monopoly indefinitely, but advocates the Government to use regulate force to limit and reduce monopoly. Modern primary school states that the fails met by the market make its operation not so efficient are affected by monopolies.
* Under the perspective of Marxist economists
Karl Marx saw that the development of the forces of production, accumulation and concentration of capital created by competition would inevitably lead to the formation of monopolies. Monopoly is expressed by Engels that "Exclusive Organization (capitalism) is an alliance between the capitalists hold most of the production and consumption of one or more of certain types of goods, in order to gain high monopoly profit". V.I. Lenin sees monopoly is the most prominent economic characteristic of capitalism in the new period. He asserts that the source of monopoly is competition, accumulation and concentration of capital with the underlying cause of the development of the productive forces of society. This monopoly is essentially a form of alliance between the capitalists holding most of the production and consumption of certain types of goods to obtain monopoly profits high as Engels pointed out.
* The notion of scientists in Vietnam
According to Hoang Dinh Can, economic monopoly is the status to concentrate economic forces (strength) in the hands of one or a few people, making them powerful for the reproduction of society. Encyclopedia of Vietnam states that monopoly is the condition that there is only one or there are a few people (or organizations) monopolizing the market. According to the Great Dictionary of market economy, monopoly is a few large capitalist firms going for high monopoly profits joint venture to monopolize the market and produce exclusively a certain commodity X.
According to Nguyen Van Ngoc, an enterprise becomes a monopoly when it is the only seller of its product and if that product has no close substitutes. Central Institute of Economic Management states that monopoly in business is that an enterprise or a corporation with certain economic, political and social conditions control production and consumption market of products, goods and services. Competition Law of Vietnam, an enterprise is considered to be the exclusive if there is not any other enterprise competitive to the goods and services that this enterprise doing business in the relevant market. Nguyen Van Nam said that the monopoly of a business specified in the Competition Act must be interpreted as a market power of an enterprise when doing business in a certain product for consumers, for rivals, set in the relevant market.
From the above points of view, it is the author’s opinion that, monopoly is an objective economic phenomenon, reflecting the existence of the enterprise in the market without competition. When there is a monopoly position, the market will give that enterprise its power, "the ability to affect the market price of a certain goods or services". Accordingly, enterprise monopoly is the term used to describe the power of firms in dominating input and output of a particular commodity on the market.
Enterprise monopoly in the market economy with a socialist orientation has basic characteristics including:
First, the concentration in the hands of one or several enterprises taking most part in the production and consumption of a particular commodity to ensure monopoly position in a particular industry or sector.
Second, when there is the establishment of monopoly position, the enterprise tends to abuse that position to obtain monopoly profits.
Third, firms take advantage of the state monopoly to become enterprise monopoly, serving the interests of that business.
Fourth, there is the possibility of market pricing, forcing competitors and consumers to comply with those prices called monopoly pricing.
Fifth, there is the ability to prevent competition from other companies, in order to strengthen the monopoly position of the business.
1.1.2. The forms of enterprise monopoly in the socialist oriented market economy
First, based on the formation source including:
- Monopoly formed by the accumulation and concentration of production
- Monopoly derived from the intervention of the State.
- Natural monopolies:
Second, based on the level of corporation’s domination over the market, monopoly has the following formats:
- Monopoly in selling
- Monopoly in purchase
- Monopoly in limiting sales and monopoly in limiting purchase
- Bilateral Monopoly:
1.1.3. Cause of forming enterprise monopoly in the socialist oriented market economy in our country today
First, monopoly is formed from the competition between enterprises in the economy.
Second, the State’s policy to form State monopoly on a number of areas.
Third, monopoly is formed from the demands of the scale of investment, technology and manufacturing technology.
Fourth, monopoly is formed from the existence of barriers in the market.
1.2. Concept, content and the need for enterprise anti-monopoly in the socialist oriented market economy
1.2.1. The concept of enterprise anti-monopoly in the socialist oriented market economy
Antimonopoly in the socialist oriented market economy is the summary of manners and measures that the socialist countries and the economic actors use to manage, control and prevent monopoly acts adversely affecting the economy, in order to create a healthy competitive environment for the economy, while contributing to harmonize the interests of the State, businesses and consumers.
In essence, this is the action of the State and the economic subjects for the enterprises with monopolistic behavior adversely affecting the economy, in which the State and the economic subjects are the subjects of antimonopoly activities.

The methods, measures of antimonopoly include legal; economic; educational measures.
The main purpose of antimonopoly is to build a healthy competitive environment with equality between businesses, resolve in harmony the interests of subjects in the economy.

First, against abuse of dominant position, monopoly position of the business.
Second, against agreements to limit competition of monopolies
Third, against the unreasonable determination of the product price to obtain high monopoly profits.
Fourth, control the activities of economic concentration of enterprises tending to form a dominant position, monopoly position.
1.2.3. The need for enterprise anti-monopoly in the socialist oriented market economy
* Starting from the requirement to create a healthy competitive environment in the development of the socialist oriented market economy
* Derived from the negative effects of monopoly enterprises for economic, political, social, defense – security purposes.
1.3. Experience of some countries in the world in antimonopoly and lessons for Vietnam
1.3.1. Experience in enterprise antimonopoly in some countries
* The experience of the United States
The US is the first country in the world to issue anti-monopoly law and encourage competition.
The United States also put competition in the area of public service provision, creating competition in providing services to the government, to encourage competition between companies of the Government.
Enhance the role of the Federal Trade Commission in enterprise antimonopoly.
Strictness and deterrence of law, especially the violations of antimonopoly law are enforced more and more strictly.
* The experience of the European Union
The European Union also built a policy on competition and antimonopoly early.
Bring competition to execute in the fields where only state-owned enterprises or private monopolies are in charge, with solutions to eliminate barriers in rotation of goods, services, capital and labor, completing intra-school market.
The European Union attaches great importance to the role of management bodies
The European Union also quite effectively uses economic measures and administrative measures.
In addition, the relatively strong intervention of the State in order to ensure consumer rights is respected in practice.
* Experience of Japan
Japan also soon issued Antimonopoly Act (07/1947), and organized the operation of the competition management departments.
The Japanese government has step by step applied measures to narrow the scope of property and business of the State.
Japan focuses on improving the quality of life, reducing the difference between domestic price and foreign one, enhancing market access, harmonious combining institution and international structures, arranging the structure of sectors, encouraging participation in the market of new businesses ... and the activities consistent with competition policy.

China has established management and state-owned assets supervision agencies at both central and local levels to release most of the intervention of the owners of the State management agency for State enterprises.
Give competitive mechanism to monopolies by opening the door to private sector and foreign countries to participate, creating competition within the sector.
Use the law to monitor and manage rather than administrative orders before.
However, in the antimonopoly activities, China still has its limitations.
