Paul Cwik Campbell University Professor Paul Cwik had no idea when he responded to an e-mail about price hikes in the gasoline industry that his response would end up on Yahoo's Business Opinion page. Come on America, let's stand together. He explained that a gas out wouldn't work and neither would government regulation of the market.
Prices are little packets of information.
When a government decides, in its own arrogance that prices are too high or too low, it is replacing the will of the people with its own. If the price is allowed to rise, we do not see lines. Cwik routed his response to the Ludwig von Mises Institute of Economics at Auburn University where it was immediately posted on the web site. From there, he began receiving responses from around the country and as far away as Japan. Approximately 90 percent of them are positive, Cwik noted.
