One product for a segment of industry that has not matured. In
automobiles? Oil? Steel? Tires? I'm sure you can come up with
other products but my point is that the mature industries are
controlled by oligarchies. Why are prices so uniform among mature
industries?

Maybe you're right. The problem is I have the theory background
behind me, but not the Math background to be able to mathematically
prove it. Nor do I have the time to do the research. So it will
remain a crackpot theory. Oh well, it's probably better that way.
