Makes sense, in the short term if you have a fixed quantity of a good and demand which exceeds supply then the solution markets will find is to allocate to those with the most resources. At that point the markets are not a particularly fair allocator.

In the medium to long term though high prices slowly incentivize people to produce more of that good. So it would be like if your hardware gained more and more CPU threads to dish out over time, until we reach some equilibrium again.
