The Debate Over Price Controls: A Letter Exchange, 1946-07-02
The letter is written by A.F. Van de Mars to Congressman George B. Schwabe, apologizing for a previous letter where he criticized Schwabe for his support of the Office of Price Administration (O.P.A). Van de Mars explains his frustration with rising prices and rent increases, and highlights the struggles of working-class Americans. Schwabe responds by defending his opposition to O.P.A and expressing his belief in standing against government overreach. The exchange reflects a disagreement on economic policy and government intervention.
