Wage-Price Controls Do Not Work Says Tyson
Robert C. Tyson, chair of U S Steel Finance Committee, told the National Savings Conference that wage and price controls fail everywhere and 4,500 years show no success. He argued controls curb liberties, cite Kefauver hearings and 1962 White House intervention, and noted steel price indices often offset by quality gains. Tyson warned many high schoolers misunderstand government controls and supply and demand.
