Totta puhuen tuo Adam Smithin kilpailulainsäädännön kannattaminen taitaa olla myytti, ks. artikkeli:

"Economic issues aside, the antitrust laws also interfere with commonsense notions of liberty and justice, as Adam Smith remarked in The Wealth of Nations. Pro-antitrust economists never tire of citing Smith's famous condemnation of price fixers: "people of the same trade seldom meet together ... but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices." But those same economists rarely acknowledge that Smith immediately went on to assert that "it is impossible, indeed, to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice." Smith, a professor of moral philosophy, was opposed to antitrust law on practical and ethical grounds."
