Rising prices and resource shortages highlight the limits of relying solely on market-driven solutions, requiring a blend of governmental and private actions.
It has now become more fashionable to talk about shortages. Computer chips have been in shortage and then in glut in the last few years. Natural gas was acutely in shortage in Europe after the war in Ukraine and pipeline sabotage brought supplies from Russia down to a trickle. Then, heroic efforts at conservation and in obtaining liquefied natural gas shipments to Europe led to a dramatic reduction in price. But last week, a major LNG exporter, sent the European price spiking again.
But in what is actually recent memory, we have examples. It was the mid-2000s that brought us spiking food prices. Now they are rising again. It also brought us the highest price ever for a barrel of oil. Now oil prices are elevated again. Metals prices rose. Now they are again.
