Abstract

The United States has always enjoyed a relative abundance of national resources. Except for brief periods, usually associated with a war, there has never been a prolonged shortage of a basic commodity in America. During the few periods where shortages have occurred, the government has usually turned to price controls and rationing rather than relying on the market mechanism to allocate these resources.
