Price of Provisions and Market Manipulation in Smithfield
In a mid eighteenth century letter, the writer argues that butchers and market salesmen drive high meat prices. He suggests a Society at coffee-house markets would sell single joints to undercut and destabilize the trade, forcing meat prices down and customers away from the salesmen and butcher shops. He envisions the Society maintaining price parity while reducing supply to force a market reversion.
