This is a history of America's use of wage and price controls from
colonial times to Richard Nixon's experiment with controls in the
1970s. It explores the impact of controls on prices and
productivity, side-effects such as the growth of black markets and
the expansion of government, and the relationship between controls
and monetary policy. The central conclusion is that, contrary to
the conventional wisdom, there are situations where the net effect
of controls can be positive. In particular, temporary controls may
reduce the unemployment and lost output usually associated with
disinflation.
