? ? When businesses do it, it's called a â??trustâ?, a â??cartelâ?, â??price fixingâ?, â??unfair and deceptive business practicesâ?, etc.? It is very much illegal, and very rightly so.? Competetition is one of the most vital forces in capitalism, and practices which undermine it are destructive to the economy itself.
? ? No reason why the same prohibitions against anti-competitive practices among businesses ought not apply to groups of workers as well.? Unions ought to be illegal.? Either that, or we should repeal all of the laws that prohibit businesses from engaging in anti-competive activity.
