After all, maximizing profits is what CEOs are supposed to do. And the government has ways to help: It can force suppliers to sell their inputs more cheaply, repress workers’ wage demands, protect the final market from competition by imports or new entrants, or lower their taxes.
私人部门常常与政府打交道，以使自己更有利可图。毕竟，利润最大化是CEO的应尽之责。政府也能够提供帮助：它可以迫使供应商以更低的价格出售投入品、抑制工人的工资要求、保护最终市场免受进口商或新进商家的竞争、降低它们的税负。
