# Philip Greenspun Yes, labor unions understand well that it's great if...

Philip Greenspun Yes, labor unions understand well that it's great if you can get the state to give you a monopoly.  It benefits them at the expense of everyone else.  But, of course, an economically literate person doesn't just count the benefits to the person who has a state enforced monopoly, right?
