> If prices of commodities are manipulated to screw the farmer, that does not come across as right in my opinion

Likewise, "If prices of commodities are manipulated to screw the consumer, that does not come across as right in my opinion"

If a cartel of gold producers attempt to limit production to raise gold prices, then consumers will get hurt. Now gold is a luxury good, unlike food, but on principles - Why shouldn't we be equally concerned when/if it gets manipulated up as when it gets manipulated down ? Someone gets hurt either way.
