How will you try for 10 tricks?Say you win the first spade and draw trumps. At IMP scoring, take the best play for the contract.

Price Controls: An Inflation Solution That Doesn’t Screw Workers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:02:33 GMT

Centrist and right-wing economists continue to advocate for laying off workers and engineering a recession to address inflation. But why not set commodity price controls instead? This week on Deconstructed, Ryan Grim is joined by James K. Galbraith, a professor of government and business relations at the University of Texas at Austin. Galbraith has an extensive history of working in government, including as executive director of the Joint Economic Committee of the U.S. Congress and an economist for the House Banking Committee. Galbraith and Grim discuss the implementation of price controls by the U.S. government, how it brings down prices, how the Biden administration has used it and could use it more, and how Galbraith’s father — economist and politician John Kenneth Galbraith — was instrumental in setting commodity price controls during the post-World War II era.Transcript coming soon.The post Price Controls: An Inflation Solution That Doesn’t Screw Workers appeared first o...
