True but...

What is it called when one company buys all the other ones & charges extortionate prices? Maybe with a sprinkle of selling lots of brands with the same crap inside?

I can only think of "late stage capitalism" but there must be a more technically correct name for it.

Edit: how can I forget the word monopoly? What is wrong with me? ?
