# Forestalling
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
The practice of buying goods before they reach the market, particularly
|
||||
corn, with the intent to resell at a higher price, historically prohibited
|
||||
by law as a form of market manipulation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Chapter
|
||||
|
||||
Book IV, Chapter 5
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
Smith argues that forestalling prohibitions are misguided, as merchants who
|
||||
buy early are often providing a valuable service by anticipating future
|
||||
scarcity and helping to distribute goods more efficiently.
