In both the U.S. and Canada recently, we see @KamalaHarris @KamalaHQ and @theJagmeetSingh raising the idea of price controls to combat the impact of inflation. Thing is, time and again they’re shown to not work. They sound nice, but so does the idea of just printing a million dollars for every person. We need informed policy on the political left, grounded in political economy, not pandering for votes through bread and circus ideas and appeals for us to simply punish strawman villains.
