Silas, well said. I note that Bob Murphy has linked to this post.

BTW, while I agree that Hamermesh’s experiment showed the difficulty of collusion in a free market, I doubt that was his intended “point”.

I was saying the opposite: in his post, Hamermesh is saying that this game shows why collusion is difficult, but it doesn’t capture the mechanism by which it makes collusion difficult.
