Uncommon card · No. 85920

Isabella M. Weber (born 1987) is a German economist. She is an associate professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Weber is best known for her advocacy for price controls. An op-ed she wrote to that end in The Guardian in December 2021 caused an uproar among economists. By the mid-2020s, Weber's stances on what she calls "sellers' inflation" have gained some mainstream acceptance, especially in Europe. In additional to price caps and strict anti-price gouging legislation to combat inflation, she also supports windfall profit taxes.
