The market eliminates shortages and surpluses through the forces of supply and demand. When there is a shortage, prices tend to rise, incentivizing producers to increase supply and attracting more resources to the market. Conversely, when there is a surplus, prices typically fall, prompting producers to reduce output or exit the market. This dynamic adjustment helps restore equilibrium, ensuring that the quantity supplied matches the quantity demanded.

What happens when price is not allowed to change with market forces?
When prices are not allowed to change according to market forces, it can lead to either surpluses or shortages. For example, if a price is set too low, demand may exceed supply, resulting in shortages. Conversely, if a price is set too high, supply may exceed demand, leading to surpluses. Such price controls can distort market signals, reduce efficiency, and lead to misallocation of resources.
Explain why shortages and surpluses are not temporary when price controls are used?
If the price ceiling is above the market price then there's no direct effect. If the price ceiling is set below the market price, then a shortage is created. :)
What are the consequences of a planned economy?
There are two general limitations:Inefficient resource distribution: surplus and shortage; The economic planners are unlikely able to accurately predict future supply and demand. Without market forces to adjust demand and supply you will likely end up with inefficiencies in production as a resut of surpluses for goods not wanted and shortages of goods which were desired.Suppression of economic democracy and self-management. Market forces allow entrepreneur and business to react quickly to market forces and ensure that there are less shortages and surpluses.
