You call it "inefficient prices". I call it "not gouging".
Imagine being a guy making just $50K/year, then you get a new job doubling it to $100K, and rather than feeling like he's getting ahead, every merchant doubled what they charged him for products and services.
We used to have a term for someone that maximized profit with zero regard for the impact on society or even their customers: Robber baron. As far as I'm concerned, what you're calling for is outright evil.
