# Engrossing
## Definition
The practice of buying up large quantities of a commodity, particularly
corn, with the intent to sell again at a profit, often viewed with suspicion
as potentially manipulating market prices.
## Source Chapter
Book IV, Chapter 5
## Context
Smith defends engrossing as a legitimate market activity that helps
distribute goods from areas of surplus to areas of scarcity, arguing that
restrictions on this practice only harm the public interest.
## Economic Domain
Exchange
