Price fixing

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Price fixing is an agreement between business competitors to sell the same product or service at the same price. Historically, such a group of businesses in price fixing was referred to as a cartel. In general, it is an agreement intended to ultimately push the price of a product as high as possible, leading to profits for all the sellers. Price-fixing can also involve any agreement to fix, peg, discount or stabilize prices. The principal feature is any agreement on price, whether expressed or implied. For the buyer, meanwhile, the practice results in a phenomenon similar to price gouging.
