These economic regulations are there to promote competition by taking the control of a particular market away from the monopoly by regulating prices that can resort to using abusive tactics to maintain the control. Social regulations are those regulations that deal with the “conditions under which goods and services are produced, the impact of production on society, and the physical quality of the goods themselves”.
