Well, price fixing of this sort is absolutely not what free trade is supposed to achieve. In fact, when contrarian economists sit down to prove that 'free trade' as its currently defined isn't working like its supposed to this is always a major argument. There are far too few companies controlling distribution and as a result consumers still pay far more than they should and produces get paid far less than they deserve.
