That $50,000 Dog
“Webster defines price as, among other things, ‘the amount
at which actual current transactions take place in the market’,”
says the Saturday Evening Post editorially. “But popular discus
sion of inflation and the cost of living have lured supposedly au
thentic observers so far oil the beam that they have been using
the word ‘price’ with as little relation to reality as the man who
said he had just hold a dog at a price of $50,000 but had to take
two $25,000 cats in trade.”
It is a very simple matter to fix a ceiling price for anything at
any level the OP A desires, it is an entirely different matter to
make goods available to the public at that price. If, to producers,
the price is too low, the item in question will automatically go out
of production or be siphoned off into the black market, to the det
riment of the honest merchant and his customers. This has hap
pened periodically in the case of meat, especially beef. When the
OP A set the price of certain types of low-cost clothing at an un
profitable level, manufacturers just stopped making that kind of
clothing, and concentrated on higher-priced goods which would
return a profit.
We will never have adequate production in this country un
til the free market is re-established. In that market, competition
and the consumers’ desire and ability to pay will fix the price
level. Artificial price ceilings, which are out of key with current
labor, material, tax and other operating costs, will do nothing in
the long run but perpetuate an economy of scarcity.
