It's a bit stubby, I know, but maybe someone can flesh it out?  Thanks in advance! [[User:Human|Human]] 21:11, 5 May 2007 (EDT)

:I don't think this is what is usually meant by "barrier to entry". Isn't it more often an artificial, anti-competitive barrier? In some cities, a barber or hairdresser must take a six-month course and pass an anatomy test - not because of a desire on the part of the city fathers to ensure competence or safety, but rather to [[protectionism|protect]] the jobs of established workers. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 13:57, 26 December 2009 (EST)
