- "People of the same trade seldom meet together, ... but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public."

- Adam Smith

'Adam Smith Was a Socialist' http://adamsmithwasasocialist.blogspot.com/2007/10/sorry-j.html

§ "People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice." (vol. I, bk. I, ch. 10.)
