Is "cartel" the word they are looking for?

• SaltyBackendGuy 8y ago
  Cartel is probably much closer than monopoly.
• dragontamer 8y ago
  Cartel implies a degree of collusion. Oligopoly seems like the most accurate word choice.

    I would be surprised if there wasn't collusion.

      cartels are inherently unstable and very hard to maintain, plus it's outlawed. I'd be surprised if there is one.

        They are not so hard to maintain when everyone acts rationally. You don't need overt collusion as long as everyone acts in a consistent manner and doesn't try to compete.

    "American chicken oligopoly" just doesn't have the same ring to it, lol
    • yellowapple 8y ago
      What about "American chicken coalition"?
