The War on Prices: How Popular Misconceptions about Inflation, Prices, and Value Create Bad Policy is a 2024 nonfiction economics book edited by Ryan A. Bourne. It brings together a range of economists and policy analysts to explain why prices are often misunderstood in public debate and why those misunderstandings lead to poor policy choices. The book is organized around three broad themes: inflation, market prices and price controls, and value. Its purpose is not only to criticize common political talking points, but also to show how basic price theory helps explain real-world outcomes. Across the essays, the authors argue that inflation is primarily a monetary phenomenon, that price controls usually create shortages and distort incentives, and that market prices communicate information that central planning cannot replace. The result is a readable but serious defense of price signals, consumer choice, and economic reasoning in public policy.
