Competing in Services

Folks,

If one perceives an unfairly distorted market, one might fashion a way to
take advantage of the malinvestment and misallocation to make money while doing
good.

The travel agency biz was something of a racket before a fellow started
expedia.com to exploit the travel agents unfair advantage.

Same fellow is now going after real estate agents.

Question: Is it better to government regulators sort out market distortions,
or leave it to small business people to correct inbalances?
