The War on Prices challenges the notion that corporate greed or supply shocks drive sustained inflation, stressing that monetary mismanagement is the primary cause. This economic analysis argues that government price controls—including rent caps, anti-price gouging laws, and minimum wages—are disastrous policies. They inevitably distort market prices, leading to shortages and resource misallocation. The book advocates for free markets, asserting that prices reflect subjective value, not ethical worth.
