A price control is different from price controls. The former is a control on the price of some particular good, e.g. electricity. The latter is a system of controls intended to control the overall price level. Very different things, here.
A microeconomic analysis of a price control should perhaps be its own article? 122.57.87.116 01:03, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
With the current raised interest in price controls in the US (Hawaii recently implemented them, as if Sept 6, 2005 there's a bill in the California legistlature to institute them) I'd be very interested to see more information on the history of price controls in the US, which were most recently popular in the 1970s.
I cannot possibly see incomes policy ever becoming a tool of government policy in the developed world any more. Such market distorting actions will end in welfare loss for the society.
There is no mention of the law of supply and demand in this article. I am thinking of how to add it. Slopyjalopi 19:50, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
Note that these are two separate laws: Law of Supply, and Law of Demand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.4.175.187 ( talk) 23:28, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
Price controls do not reduce inflation. They do not control it. This article in POV for stating as a fact that they do. 70.150.94.194 23:00, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
I'll dig up some Milton quotes about inflation controls in the USA re stagflation. Toby Douglass 14:37, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
This seems to be from only one economy ideology. There has to be at least one thing good about price controls since they were instituted several times. What are the classical, Keynesian, monetary POVs on price controls? It would be a good thing to list them, in a chart or in paragraphs.
So I tagged this with NPOV because it seems pretty combative to me. 99.245.173.200 09:12, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Right now, the price controls article redirects to the incomes policy article. I'm going to change it so price controls has its own article. Grundle2600 ( talk) 11:24, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
The 'gas lines' of the 1970s were caused by the Arab oil embargo of 1973-74 and the disruption of world oil supplies caused by the Iranian revolution.
Agreed. This statement is woven in a circle throughout various articles with no true source cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.4.175.187 ( talk) 23:29, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
