Mass Zimbabwe arrests over prices 

President Robert Mugabe is imposing price controls in Zimbabwe, and arresting anyone who violates them, in an effort to curb the crippling inflation the country currently faces. Too bad that this violates every basic rule of economics. Somehow, I don’t think it would work. Unfortunately, my economic knowledge only extends far enough to tell me that this won’t work… not to tell me what will.
