Italian taxi drivers would be prepared to allow more competition if they were sure that Italian pharmacy owners were willing to do likewise. But if issuing more taxi medallions reduces cab drivers’ earnings, while pharmacists succeed in vetoing pro-competition measures to lower the cost of their services, the taxi drivers will end up worse off and the pharmacists will be enriched, which hardly seems fair.
第三，被要求做出牺牲的社会团体之间也缺乏互信。意大利出租车司机原因增加竞争，只要他们能确信意大利药店也这样做。但如果颁发更多的出租车执照减少了司机的收入，而药店成功地抵制了意在降低其服务成本的鼓励竞争措施，那么出租车司机就会遭受损失，而药店将会获益，这显然是不公平的。
