Milan Italy is trying to control the price of face masks, and it isn't going well. On April 26 2020, Domenico Arcuri, special commissioner for the coronavirus emergency, announced that surgical face masks must be sold at a fixed price of 50 European cents plus tax. A good mask used to cost as little as 10 European cents, but prices surged after Covid-19. The Civil Protection Department, Italy's national body that deals with emergencies, promptly discouraged entrepreneurs from importing masks, right as more masks were needed. No one was allowed to import masks and sell them to the highest bidder. Now, there is a government set price and a shortage of masks and many pharmacists have stopped selling masks. Far from learning its lesson, the Italian government has suggested it will repeat its price-fixing mistakes by setting the price of N95 masks. The results won't be any better.
