The comments in this discussion seem to be focusing on the fact that rent seeking is problematic in highly skilled professional fields as well as lower skilled fields.<p>While we clearly need to ensure that bad doctors stop practicing medicine, that crooked accountants can&#x27;t take advantage of people, and...that loud librarians can&#x27;t be librarians anymore (or something ;)), perhaps this is a better role for the government than a private professional association that is motivated to engage in rent-seeking?
