Teks aslinya berjudul “Egoist Agorism.” Diterjemahkan ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia oleh Ameyuri Ringo. “Persaingan bebas sejatinya tidaklah “bebas” karena Saya tidak memiliki modal apapun untuk berkompetisi.

Restaurant Reservation Markets Are Good. Outlawing Them Is Not.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) signed the Restaurant Reservation Anti-Piracy Act into law on December 19, 2024, prohibiting third-party restaurant reservation services from arranging reservations unauthorized by restaurants. Hochul celebrated the passage of the Act as “giving everyone a chance to get a seat at the dinner table.” But banning certain third-party reservation services from selling to consumers doesn’t create more seats at fine dining establishments, it just changes how you get one—or don’t.
