Kamala Harris Proposes Federal Ban on Price Gouging for Food

Economic experts debate the potential impacts of Harris's plan to control food prices amid post-pandemic inflation.

Harris's proposal aims to penalize companies exploiting crises and support small businesses.
Critics argue that historical examples show price controls often lead to shortages and other negative outcomes.
Supporters believe the plan could curb extreme price increases during emergencies without harming profit margins.
The proposal includes measures for increased competition and antitrust enforcement by federal agencies.
Details on the plan are still emerging, with ongoing debate about its feasibility and effectiveness.
