# 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.
## Economic Domain
