Massive Onslaughts of CircuIDslances Stanley Brue

Ideas are inherently conserv ative. They yield not to the attack of other ideas, but to the massive onslaught of circumstances with which they cannot contend. John K. Galbraith The past four years have been a remarkably perplex ing period for the economy of the United States. The Nixon Administration clearly inherited an economy "vhich was traveling at a pace inconsistent with price stability. Excessive total spending in the economy had resulted in an unacceptably rapid rate of inflation. Thus, "game plan I" was quickly placed into operation. The

initial

Nixon "game plan"

sought to cool the inflationary pressures in the

over路heated econo my by a judicious

application of the brakes. The income tax

surcharge (originally enacted under the Johnson Administration) was extended. The federal budget was moved from a deficit of over in

1969.

Ironically, the rate of inflation, the problem which

prompted the appl ication of the brakes in the first place, remained at an unacceptably high level. A new economic strategy was clearly in order. Controlled Acceleration Whereas the in itial strategy had been one of braking, "game plan II" was designed to pick the driver from the pavement, bind his wounds, place him back in the driver's seat, and convince him that the vehicle 'Nas basically sound. "Controlled acceleration" became the by路word. The excise tax on automobiles "vas repealed to stimulate the growth of consumer spending. Accelerated depreciation allowances and a reinstitution of the investment tax credit were undertaken to promote greater business spending.

The federal d eficit, partially by design, was moved from a position of near b a l ance to one of record-setting deficit. .Ll.ccel eration, a l though

Selective Enforcement I n January

1973 t h e man d a tory (Phase II) wage a n d price control program was

p artial l y disman tled in favor of "vo l u n tary" controls. I n reality, t h e curren t wage a n d price pol icy (Ph ase III) is o n e o f selective enforcer e n t. The admi n istration h a s let i t be known t h a t th e wage a n d price decisions of large u nions and corporations wi l l be closely moni tored an d that price a n d wage rol lbacks will be ordered when these decisions are i nconsistent with the goa l o f contro l l i n g inflation. It is much too ear-Iy to judge "garne p l a n II" and t h e sh i ft from mandatory to "volun tary" wage a n d price contro ls. Current economic indicators appear to be mixed. Real econom ic growth acce l e rated in 1972 and wiII Iike l y remain a t a rapid, yet sustainable, rate in

1973. U nemployment is relucta n t l y yielding to in crease d aggregate

the

u npred ictability

the

reaction of unions

and

prod ucers to the

"vol u n tary" contro l s. Ph ase III may prove to be premature. The oth er uncertain ty is '

the federal budget deficit. I t is essen tial t h a t the existing deficit be reduced as the economy once again approaches its full pote n tia l . Some of this reduction wil l be

automatic since federal tax revenues increase as individual and corporate incomes rise. Federal expenditure reductions or new tax soul'ces, nevel'theless, may be required. In this connection, the twin issues of spending priorities and tax equity will remain in the spotlight. Rather than speculating upon the future, however, it is more instructive to reflect upon the past and present. The imposition of direct wage and price controls, however reluctantly, by an economically conservative administration is an event of historic importance.

cursorary

examination

this

occurellce leaves one remarkably

confused. A more intensive analysis, however, is enlightening. The Nixon wage and price controls, both in their original and current forms, represent a recognition that the American economic system is quite different than traditional perceptions of it. Competitive free enterprise, alas, is not sufficiently competitivel

Self-Interests In 1776, Adam Smith cOlltended that when numerous, diverse economic units pursued their self-interests and were constrained by vigorous price and wage competition, the net result would closely resemble the social good. Society's economic goals, as well as those of its component parts, would be realized. But what is the case when gigantic economic units, each possessing varying degrees of concentrated economic power, pursue their self-interests?

Furthermore, what if the price and wage competition

between and among such units is virtually non-existent? What insures that society's economic goals are realized under these circumstances? The answer, of course, is that no such insurance exists. Thus

balancing mechanisill is

often required. The federal government's power of direct and indirect intervention in ( private ecollornic clecision-mak ing provides this balancing force. Direct wage and price controls are a clear example. Other recent interventions of a more indirect nature have occurred in the areas of environmental protection, consumer protection legislation, and industrial safety. Concentrated economic power, both in the product and labor markets, insures the need for concentrated governmental pO\jver. This is an essential relationship which requires additional clarification. Economic power and cOllcentration are complex phenomenon arising from a variety of sources.

Performance, not structure, is the most i m porta n t econo m ic c r i ter i a . Yet performance and structure are otten u n i quel y re l a ted. One m ust co m p rehen d the nature of the A mer ican economic structure if he is to understand such pro b l ems as i n f l at i on and u n e m p l oy ment.

Non路Price Competition The trend is clear. Large eco n o mic units dominate the production of ma ny go ods a n d services in the United States economy, and these units are getting l arger. Co mpetition, as a resu l t, has increasingly become of a no n-price variety. The "discipli nes of the market" have been

partial l y rep l aced

by the "dictates of l arge producers." The

aggrega te results of the in ter-related decisions of l arge econ omic units need not correspo n d with broad econ omic goa l s o f price sta bility a n d full, emp l oyment. If the product market is less than vigorous l y competitive, what is the case in the market where l a bor resources are exchangedl The an svver is obvious. The American labor movement is a study in the growth a n d consol idation of eco no mic power. Large and economically powerful unio n s administer wages, just as producers administer prices.

A further admission of this reality is the failure of the Nixon Administration's initial anti-inflationary strategy. As discussed earlier, this was a br aking policy. Traditional fiscal and

monetary policy failed because the Administration failed adequately to

recognize the existence of concentrated economic power. Corporations responded to I'educed product demand by reducing employrnent and output, not by restricting pl'ice increases.
