| Message | This is entirely contradictory to the history of regulation. In a free market businesses cannot effectively cartelize. This is why throughout the last couple of hundred years, big businesses have eagerly sought government regulation in order to reduce the opportunities available to smaller players while highly competitive smaller businesses have generally opposed such government actions. |
