I disagree, at least in this case.

The "good of society" in this case appears to be "financial gain" for smaller businesses.

One side is a government saying that controlling prices in this way is harmful to society, and if any one does it, we'll bust them, and the other side is a government saying it's good for society, and we'll do it for them.
