go into detail please!
oh btw, a policy entrepreneur is a person who invest their political capital in an issue. one can be in or out of government, elected or appointed positions, or in interest groups
thank you =)

In 1972 there was a price freeze on sugar. It ended up backfiring by producing shortages and severe inflation.
The other was an oil embargo that put the US in its worst energy crises for oil and resulted in super hyper inflations (gas went up to $ .54 a gallon and this was pre- unleaded days), and people were left pushing their car to the pump. Pumps had a set amount of gas and once it ran out, it was gone.
History has shown us that there were no real shortages for gas nor sugar, just political stances against the countries that were producing these products.
I hope this helps you and is what you were meaning.
