Governments are mishandling the affordability crisis

The Economist argues that governments around the world are mishandling the growing affordability crisis, in which housing, food and energy costs increasingly outstrip household incomes. The piece contends that policy responses so far have failed to address the underlying supply-side causes, and readers are debating whether subsidies and price caps make the problem worse rather than better.

Why now: Rising living costs remain a top political and economic concern, and the argument that official responses are backfiring is provoking debate.
