<p>In the past, science was not as specialized as it currently is and scientists mastered miscellaneous sciences. Currently, human sciences are inter-related with mutual connections that have mutual effects with respect to defining their key themes. In this regard, the present study, while explaining the concept of business competition, which is among the key issues in economics,has sought to investigate some aspects of freedom of information such as the economy of information, being tax and capital related, and the government's obligation to allow public access to this possession (which due to this very reason could serve as a legal foundation for competition).
