The concepts of market, economic concentration, concurrent with competition mechanisms are key elements to market economy-based economic systems, that decisively shape the architecture of national economies. While to economic science, similarly to the group of social sciences, the experiment is not allowed, the study of economic theories demonstrates a process of evolution of the concepts of market, economic concentration and competition mechanisms, that unfolds in parallel with the progress achieved by economic thinking as a whole. While not attempting to produce an article on economic history, the authors propose a short insight into the main schools of economic thinking on the notions of market and competition. This presentation, which by no means is intended as an exhaustive one, is corroborated by the citation of innovative criticism and ideas put forward by the various economists, the purpose of which is to highlight exactly the relativism and nuances of the concepts, all stemming from the keen observation of economic realities and trends.
