Albert Edwards, an economist at the 159-year-old investment bank Société Générale, says corporate greed may call for the unthinkable: Price controls.

GOOD.

Then again who wants to bet they don't mean the end of capitalism just that we regress into techno peonage and serfdom?

      Nothing personal, comrade, just the point I was originally trying to allude to is if this economist thinks we're gonna save capitalism and the world with price controls, good fucking luck, because in the US the system was pretty openly designed to prevent that and the force necessary to make them do it seems pretty far over the horizon.
