    Trade Law, Tariffs, support for Intellectual property, and opposition to Dumping.

  • Trade under the control of a Guild

    This is trade which is controlled by private business associations. These associations hold either de facto or government-granted power to exclude new members. This has evolved to include business and professional organizations often controlled by Academia.

    For example in many states or countries, a person may not practice the professions of Engineering, Lawyer, Law Enforcement, Medicine, Teaching unless they have a relevant College Degree and may be required to have a License issued by a national association of that profession.
