Econ 101: Prices Are Information | This Week's Economy Ep. 121

It’s time to set the record straight on prices. They’re not just random numbers set by sellers—they’re powerful signals that reflect what the market is willing to pay for goods and services. But when the government steps in—through price controls, subsidies, or bailouts—those signals get distorted. This results in market confusion, unintended consequences, and long-term economic harm. In this episode of This Week’s Economy, I break down why prices matter and why policymakers need to tread carefully.  You can catch the full episode on YouTube, Apple Podcast, or Spotify.
