A very limited example would be that quite a few countries have fixed prices on medicines, and not had shortages. It should be noted though that the fixed price in those cases is still well above the marginal cost of producing existing medicines, and government funds/large market that does not price fix (USA) have provided drug companies with the R&D to produce new kinds of drugs.

Price fixing of bulk commodities on the other hand pretty much always leads to shortages, especially if nothing is done about the underlying causes of the inflation driving prices up, and the cost to produce/import said commodities rises above the fixed price.

It should be noted that the public only takes subsidized medicine if they need it (for the most part) whereas consumables are used by everyone.

Isn't this situation different in that prices aren't rising due to increases in cost, but arbitrarily being raised by companies in a mass co-ordinated price-gouging? The cost of producing the food has only gone up around 10%, whilst prices have risen over 100% in many cases. Price fixing only causes problems if you prevent the companies from making profit, not simply limit their profit from unfathomable amounts of money down to mere obscene levels of wealth.

You first have to prove in a complex economic system with multiple factors influencing prices that said actors are raising costs on purpose in a coordinated effort.

Price controls are a way to devalue the available products to the price set by the regulator. Why? It always ends up that way. Why? Because it leads to the products that cannot make a profit at or below that set price to be unprofitable and thus get wiped off the market.

[Anonymous No.55119062]

>>55115870
To fight inflation, at some point somebody has to lower their price first so everyone downstream from them can lower theirs.
But when nobody along the production/transportation chain wants to (or is able to) be the first to lower their price, inflation remains sticky, and it takes a major reset to correct the situation.
I'm staunchly anti-socialism and anti-communism, but honestly in this case, this type of government intervention makes a lot of sense.

There's nothing sticky about inflation, if you find a better way to produce something you want to lower your prices and steal customers from other producers.

When prices are high, they are because it's materially impossible to do that.

Why not just set the controlled price lower than the current price of goods forcing a price drop? And if companies complain then you either tell them to comply and compete in the market or pack their shit and go out of business? Companies stop producing out of spite? Let them go out of business as their assets will be worthless and their competitors willing to play ball will take market share. Or the state can take over production

The greedy need to learn their greed is only being tolerated because the system allows it. One change is all it takes

It's also how you get shortages. It's not, per se, bad to remove price as a control mechanism, but you have to be aware that if you do, you're also abolishing market mechanics, specifically the incentive to produce the good.
You can cap anything at any price, but you will then get shortages, empty shelves, and/or a black market emerging.

That's rather difficult to do given the agricultural situation (fertilizer, shipping, soil degradation, climate dysregulation). Raising the supply is the solution to every shortage, yet we don't have infinite supply of anything.

Other than that 10%-figure being unsupported, the demand for food is inelastic. If people need to eat and there's not enough food, the price can go up 500% and 1000% too. The same thing happened with oil in 2007, when production only dipped a few percent below demand, causing the price to go parabolic. It's not that the entire volume of available oil was traded at the top, only a few percent were (bought by the people who got caught out), but those few percent got bought at any price.
