In many parts of Europe during the mid-1770s, governments gave guilds, or organizations of producers, the authority to control who was allowed to produce a good, the amount of the good produced, and the price charged for the good.
Would you expect more competition among producers in a guild system or in a market system?
A.
A market system, but only if government imposes regulations similar to those instilled by a guild.
B.
A guild system, because its charter could require that members follow competitive practices.
C.
A market system is clearly more competitive because it allows for the free entry and exit of producers.
D.
No discernable difference exists between the two systems regarding competitiveness.

Option C.
