Addressing The Issue Of Government Price Controls By Fiona Scott

Fiona Scott writes the article. She tries to address the issue of government price controls by suing specific example to pass her message. All through the article, the author sets out to try and convince the audience of the negative side of government price controls. She tries to use examples and past evidence to achieve her objective in writing the article. The author plans her evidence in chronological order to try and reveal to the audience that the problem is not just a yesterday aspect but, started long ago. The article follows a theory that government control is wrong for the normal citizens. In that, it affects their lives considerably (50). In her effort to be thorough, she has brought out the main concept of the piece in a good manner.

After analyzing the evidence, she returned to the original concept (53) to show her organizational skills. One thing about the article is that the methods she sues to argue her point and the evidence provided are all realistic. She does not just decide to use evidence from her head, but she uses past and present known examples. However, one thing to note and probably the only blemish of the article is the fact that the author takes a bias note. The author mentions that governments become popular with the public in a promise of price controls (51), but she does not expound further. As much as the main objective of the article was to criticize government price controls, there are reasons why people believe in those governments that propose the control of prices. The author ought to have provided the reader with the advantages of the topic at hand before countering them with her evidence and analysis. A person who may read the article without having a prior knowledge of the topic may develop the idea that price controls are just wrong. The way the author argues out her points it is like, she tries to say that even though price controls has its benefits, it has so many flaws
