The entire book and tv series "The Commanding Heights" is worth reading or watching...it shows how central planners are not friends of the economy.

Since the late 1950's - early 1960's the dollar has lost about 90% of its purchasing power.

A new Chevrolet or Ford that was $2,000 to $3,000 is now $25,000 to $30,000.

A loaf of bread that was 18¢ is now $1.50 to $2.00.

A package of cigarettes that was 25¢ to 30¢ is now $5.00.

A 5¢ candy bar is now at least 50¢ and it has shrunk to about 2/3 of its original size.

Regular gasoline that was around 25¢ to 30¢ a gallon is now $3.50 to $4.00.
