Cartel

A cartel is like a group of people or organizations that try to control prices and supplies of certain products or services so they can make more money. For example, if 4 gas stations in a town all have the same owner, then that owner might control the prices of gas so they are the same at all the gas stations and so that he/she can make more money. This is like a cartel because the owner is controlling prices and supplies on purpose.
