There seem to have been very few attempts to think through why, exactly, most people feel that price-gouging is bad; this is one of the few examples I’ve been able to find. https://t.co/yLiSUbFvED But I’d argue that the public is right and many (most?) economists are wrong.5/ — PolitiTweet.org

To the extent that economists have thought about it, however, they tend to argue that we should let markets work, that putting a lid on price increases is counterproductive. 4/ https://t.co/Y4oHpjKG2h — PolitiTweet.org

The piece linked above makes the case in terms of the morality of the seller’s actions: is it right to take advantage of peoples’ distress? Without disagreeing that this is a relevant question, I find it helpful to think in terms of distributive justice. 6/ — PolitiTweet.org
