SOLIDARITY: The rallying cry for organized labor and the labor union movement that has attempted to cut across industries and occupations, based on an "us versus them" view of the labor market. The "us" are the workers and the "them" are the employers. This solidarity notion presumes that when one worker wins a battle against an employer then all workers win.

PRICE CEILING: A legally established maximum price. The government is occasionally inclined to keep the price of one good or another from rising too high. Examples include apartments, gasoline, and natural gas. While the goal is invariably a noble one--like keeping stuff affordable for poor people--a price ceiling often does more harm than good. First, it usually creates a shortage, meaning that many of the buyers who being protected against high prices, can't even buy the good. Second, as a consequence of this shortage, a price ceiling is likely to generate a black market where the good is sold illegally above the price ceiling. See also | market | price | regulation | shortage | black market | price floor |
