If something like that happens, it's not the price control doing morally reprehensible killing, it's the system and ownership of the means of production using them irresponsibly doing the killing. Maybe things that save lives don't need a market to tell you they're an important societal good.
If I try to escape an open air prison so you start doing an ethnic cleansing of that prison, we're not in equal footing in terms of being bad.
The biggest selling point for a command economy is literally the housing crisis.
How is the housing crisis real? Just plan your economy lmao.
Well there's plenty of planning that goes into it, it's just in the direction of capital concentration at the expense of people being dignified
We already live in a planned economy (the free-market absolutists will tell you all about government interventions in the housing market). In fact, pretty much all modern large scale industry runs on the principles of planned economy. The problem is that the economy is planned by the capitalists and their lackeys. What we need is nationalization.
You will always have a planned economy. The only real question is "planned by whom?"
Obviously that goes without saying. The best solution is single payer healthcare and a nationalised pharmaceuticals industry.
However, a poorly implemented price control will fuck your economy and general welfare unless you have a communist economy and transcended money.
Maybe Trump will do a well implemented price control
