Sample text

In capitalist societies, technological progress and economic progress are gained through such people. If a man has an idea, he will try to find a few people who are clever enough to realize the value of his idea. Some capitalists, who dare to look into the future, who realize the possible consequences of such an idea, will start to put it to work. Other people, at first, may say: "They are fools"; but they will stop saying so 30 ECONOMIC POLICY when they discover that this enterprise, which they called foolish, is flourishing, and that people are happy to buy its products.

Another result will be that anxious people will hurry to be first at the shops. They have to wait outside. The long lines of people waiting at shops always appear as a familiar phenomenon in a city in which the government has decreed maximum prices for commodities that the government considers as important.

But what is the result of the government's price control?

The American consumer, the individual, is both a buyer and a boss. When you leave a store in America, you may find a sign saying: 'Thank you for your patronage. " In socialist countries, it is not the seller who has to be grateful, it is the buyer. The citizen is not the boss; the boss is the Central Committee, the Central Office. Those socialist committees and leaders and dictators are supreme, and the people simply have to obey them.
