Economically Dumb, Politically Smart
Briefly

Kamala Harris's recent proposal to combat inflation through price gouging laws raises concerns among economists, as such measures often lead to market inefficiencies and shortages.
Price controls, as evidenced by historical examples, can limit producers' incentives, ultimately resulting in reduced supply and negative effects on the market economy.
While some of Harris's economic policies may appear to defy basic economic principles, they are positioned politically to resonate with voters during elections.
The disconnect between economically sound policies and broad voter appeal highlights the challenge for politicians like Harris in balancing effective governance with electoral strategy.
