Since there is no protection against cornering labor/skill markets, they stop existing pretty fast after they are cornered. But here is an example. Very soon after Texas Instruments and Linear Technologies cornered the power supply market, power supply designers died out, and now you have to go as far as China, to get power supply design support.a cornered market is no longer a market, it is a pre-arranged deal wheel.Yes, and that is why there are laws against cornering any commodity market. Except against cornering the labor commodity. Now why is that?
So you think ALL labor is part of the same market?
You think that the labor of a neurosurgeon is equal to that of a night watchman?
People SELL their labor to an employer of their own free will. The price they get depends on how much their labor is worth in the marketplace
So you agree with me then. If a single employer corners the entire marketplace of a skill, then the value of that will be zero, including the skill of the neurosergon. Therefore the laws that I mentioned above for protecting commodity markets still should apply.
No it wouldn't, to maintain the market, you still need skill to keep any potential competition at bay.
Can you give me an example of a cornered market.
