Simon states in his foreword to the present volume, "President Carter's program of 'voluntary' price and wage 'guidelines,' announced last Fall, highlights the necessity of this book. We are on the brink of price controls, if we have not already gone headlong over it, and very few people, indeed, understand what is at stake and what the consequences are likely to be if controls should exist for any substantial period of time. Professor Reisman, an academic economist, is one of the handful of people who does thoroughly understand these issues."
