> guess you could try to have some kind of price controls to limit corporate profits. That just creates shortages, and then you still have inflation, in fact you make it worse, because people still want the stuff, but then getting that stuff just involves off the book transactions, insider deals, and other nefarious and illicit actions to get the stuff. I mean look at the USSR, being rich wasn't important, there were no rich. Yet there was still an exploitative parasitic upper class that dined on caviar and fine wine everyday while most of the population was waiting for hours in the cold to get bread. The only difference was, now it was based on who you knew and being connected instead of the amount of money you had.
