  > It can be "unfair" in an intuitive and specific case while still being the result of market forces (is it fair that I'm paying rent to my former landlord's son? he did nothing to earn it except inherit this building) It's the same market forces.

    That's why I gave it as an example. It feels unfair but that doesn't mean it's evidence of collusion/conspiracy.

      So then your question > (is it fair that I'm paying rent to my former landlord's son? he did nothing to earn it except inherit this building) has a clear answer.

        I don’t want to sound snarky but did you miss that this was a rhetorical question meant to illustrate my actual point as part of a much longer post?
