Adam Smith advocated an entirely free market. That is, no regulation of any sort to businesses, permitting monopolies, businesses agreeing to fix prices, trusts, etc.
Trusts cut prices to drive competitors out of business.
Trusts put smaller competitors out of business using unfair tactics. Trusts could unfairly raise prices since they had no competition. Trusts had too much influence on government officials.
The concerns critics have on big business regarding trusts is that to earn more money trusts often tried to get rid of competition and to control production. The wealth and size of trusts such as standard oil made many Americans fear the influence of business leaders over government.
Critics of big business were particularly concerned about trusts because they concentrated economic power in the hands of a few corporations, reducing competition and leading to monopolistic practices. This concentration often resulted in higher prices for consumers, lower wages for workers, and stifled innovation. Additionally, trusts were seen as having undue influence over politics and government, undermining democratic processes and accountability. Overall, the critics feared that trusts threatened the fairness and integrity of the free market system.
