I'll tell you what it was. It was rising prices and the opportunity for people to cash in on windfall profits.

Walter Williams, once again, proves that the motivating factor in his life is profit.

Move on folks, no humanity to be seen here.

Er, no, Walter Williams proves once again that he has a much better grasp of economics than you.

bulls&*$. The motiviating factor in his life is human freedom.

Your "humanity" pitch is just a backhanded way of condoning government control because it makes you feel better about yourself. Because if you're condemning what he wrote, you're endorsing government control in the name of forced benevolence.

His "profit" motive actually gets things done - and works better, more efficiently, and more justly than any government scheme ever has or possibly could.

But a business can't exist without profits. If you go broke, how can you serve humanity?
