Talk:Price gouging

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

North American term?

Although the concept is universal, the phrase 'price gouging' seems restricted to the US and Canada. It's certainly not in common use in the UK, though the general meaning would be understood. The article makes no mention of this at present. --Ef80 (talk) 16:08, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Opposition of laws against price gouging

There's a section on opposition to laws against price gouging, giving the reasoning behind this opposition. It'd be nice if there were a section on support for such laws and the reasoning behind supporting them, written in the same style as the opposition section, e.g. "Supporters of anti-price gouging laws also claim that ...".

and also it seems to never have been a reliable reference for encyclopedic use. please delete both the reference and the sentence in the article that is (not) backed up by this reference. that sentence would have needed a clarification anyway. (its this one: "Proponents of laws against price gouging assert that it can create an unrealistic psychological demand that can drive a non-replenishable item into extinction.")176.63.176.112 (talk) 12:37, 21 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]
