The typical barrier to entry erected by many cartels in the US involves government action. The typical barrier to entry for non-regulated industries, like cocaine manufacture and exporting in Central America, involves firebombing a new market entrant's facilities and executing their families. Imperfect as it may be, I prefer the more heavily regulated version.

Surely you're not suggesting that the only alternative to allowing firebombing is govt regulation?

" firebombing a new market entrant's facilities and executing their families."

Theft of life and property. Not exactly free market either.
