It's not illegal if you can convince the government to use force on your behalf.
Example? I'll wait.
Just erecting entry barriers is good enough.
A barrier that can prevent entry is the use of force --- and illegal.
- nvm0n2 3y agoExample? The one we were just discussing! Doctors have convinced the government to make medicine a licensed profession, so they got the government to use force on their behalf to stop you attending to someone's ailment. There's no legal block to you creating your own company to compete with TSMC or Apple or Google, yet, you won't be able to do it. The sheer amount of effort it needs to compete makes it impractical. Entry barriers are usually created by the effectiveness of the incumbents and lack of any way to get customers when you're the worst option.
