一个市场和行政干预的极佳例子

“清清”牌桶装水在新浪网曝光后,重庆大学陆续做出了一些动作,最新的动作是:它规定学校内只能有两家厂商可以供水,桶装水的牌子也有规定,并在每个宿舍楼下公告:
第一、学校这么做是否违法,或者是否有这方面的法律
第二、即使违法,会有人去告吗
第三、这种做法是否做过了,市场试错法试出了“清清”牌桶装水有问题,你把它取缔了可以,为何还要控制供应方
第四、学校怎么选择供应方,是否会寻租
第五、在寻租的情况下,会造成竞争不公平、创新缺失,资源动态配置失衡
第六、那些不能卖水的人应该要去找其他事情干了,这部分人中会有部分产生怨气,清清牌的老板做其他事情的时候也会出问题吗
第七、学校是否会价格控制,因为垄断的结果大伙都知道
第八、重庆大学还会出现第二次“清清”牌桶装水事件吗?
行政控制,就好比压水中的皮球,这头按下去,那头便起来。
下面是一些关于美国二战时期,国内经济的描述:
“World War II was a huge Keynesian stimulus that finally brought us out of the Great Depression. On the surface, the facts seem to fit. The federal government devoted 44 percent of G.D.P. to fighting the war and ran very large deficits. Unemployment rates fell below 2 percent even as large numbers of women entered the work force.

While running large deficits, the federal government took command over large segments of the economy, allocated a large part of the resources to the war effort, put 15 percent of the working-age population in the military, and established wage and price controls.

The official statistics on private consumption during World War II suggest that real consumption expenditures rose, but they use official-controlled prices that misrepresent the true price of consumer goods in the period.

After relatively minor adjustments to reflect the real prices, real consumption in the middle of the war was lower than it was in 1941. Most in the military were risking life and limb in foreign lands. On the home front, people could not buy new autos, tires, and many appliances at any price. Rationing programs sharply limited access to meat, sugar, gasoline, and a wide array of other products.”

显然中国打仗的时候也有过控制。

水已经叫了一天了,还没有来。
