Rationing of goods is typically planned by government authorities during times of crisis, such as wars or economic hardship, to ensure the equitable distribution of scarce resources. In the United States during World War II, for example, the Office of Price Administration (OPA) was responsible for implementing rationing policies. Similarly, other countries had their respective agencies and measures to control the distribution of essential goods. Rationing is often part of broader economic strategies to manage shortages and maintain social stability.

Clothes rationing in the UK officially ended on March 15, 1949, while food rationing continued until July 4, 1954. The end of these rationing measures marked a significant shift toward post-war recovery and the normalization of everyday life. The gradual lifting of restrictions allowed citizens to regain access to a variety of goods that had been limited during and after World War II.
Rationing is a common form of distribution in a centrally-planned economy.
