The term "restrictive trade practices" refers to any agreements or actions taken by businesses that limit competition and unfairly hinder the ability of others to conduct business. Some common synonyms for this phrase include "anti-competitive behavior," "trade barriers," "monopolies," or "cartels." Other related terms might include "price-fixing," "collusion," or "predatory practices." These terms all describe different ways that businesses can restrict competition and trade, often resulting in higher prices for consumers and limited opportunities for smaller or newer businesses to enter the market. Understanding these different terms and how they relate to trade practices can help consumers and policymakers better address and prevent unfair or harmful business practices.
