If there is only one company that controls the sale of any particular product they have a "monopoly" on that product.

Social Security is a government program whereby people who have very little money or are too infirm, old, or disabled to earn money of their own are provided a certain amount of support by the government. It emerged in the twentieth century, partly as a product of increasing state control over the lives of citizens and partly out of the progressive mentality that was prevailing at the time. The United States has an extensive Social Security system, although significantly less than many European countries.

A monopoly occurs when one company controls the means or production of a product and is able to exclusively sell that product on the market. The problem with this system is it allows the company to effectively charge higher prices than might be considered "fair." The alternative to this is competition, which occurs when two or more companies control a share of the market and have to compete with each other to produce better quality products at a lower price.

"Interdependence" is used to refer to a situation that exists between two or more countries in which they rely on one another for the exchange of raw resources, finished products, goods, and services to the mutual betterment of their respective economies.
