Libertarianism is the inclusion of every sapient being into the decision making process and all that logically follows from that. Utilitarianism is the objective of ensuring the most happiness for all sapient beings and all that logically follows from that. Sometimes they compliment each other, other times they contradict.

Anyone can compete!
Let's open a small store (that's all we can do, there's no way we can start as a big chain) and sell at lower prices so we can get customers from the big chains! But wait, we have to buy 1,000 units of a single product to get a good price. Wall-Mart is getting it's stock at even lower prices than we can get them even if we bought 1,000 and they can sell them at our cost! And Amazon is selling it's books also almost at our cost! But let's try to have a very small margin to try to get some business. But the big store is lowering it's prices below our cost to crush us... We're doomed! D-Oh!
