The mere existence of a law - in 2025, nearly half a century into the neoliberal era - that mentions "coercion" marks a profoud shift in ideology, a recovery of the idea that we are always under threat of "a conspiracy against the public...some contrivance to raise prices."

In a way, this just proves how right Trump is: the American way of life really *is* under threat from the radical Marxist ideology...of Adam Smith.
