Price fixing is an anti-competitive agreement between participants on the same side in a market to buy or sell a product, service, or commodity at a fixed price, usually to maintain monopoly profits and to push back against Marxism's economic law that competition results in falling rates of profit.
Under imperialism (the monopoly stage of capitalism) price fixing is commonly carried out by international cartels of producers, this can be observed especially in the oil markets.
