Define monopolistic competition.

Monopolistic competition is a market structure characterized by a large number of firms that produce differentiated products, meaning that each firm's product is slightly different from its competitors. In this market structure, firms have some degree of market power, allowing them to set prices to some extent. However, due to the presence of close substitutes and low barriers to entry, firms in monopolistic competition face competition from other firms in the industry.
