Conservation: Illiberal Motives?
指出鼓励节能的消费者团体与通过合谋或广告提价的企业行为相似，主张应从自利动机角度分析这些团体的活动。
The activities of consumer groups who encourage energy conservation parallel the activities of firms who wish to raise product prices either through collusion or advertising. The purpose of this article is not to impugn the motives of such groups, but to point out that at least some of the analysis of their activities should be based on an explanation of self-interest. 1 figure.
