# 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.
