Synopsis

A bold argument challenges the idea that competition is the sole driver of trade, offering a road map to protect consumers and the broader community.

In a detailed critique, the work argues that non-productive competition harms merchants and readers alike. It presents a patchwork of ideas about margins, laws, and the need to align business practices with the public good. The book aims to frame how markets could operate more fairly while preserving vital freedoms.

  • Learn why the author questions the notion that competition alone fuels prosperity
  • See the case for reducing margins and promoting lower-cost access to essentials
  • Discover how laws and tradition are said to shape trade and consumer protection
  • Understand how a “two percent margin” approach is proposed to balance merchants, labor, and communities
Ideal for readers interested in economic philosophy, trade history, and practical debates about how markets should serve people.
