Nothing, absolutely nothing, is as great on this topic as Reisman's Government Against the Economy.

Well alot of it had to do with Government price Controls on oil which caused all sorts of shortage problems. Here is one link from Mises.org about it and another from Cato.org:

If anybody has a good description on government responses to the oil crisis during the 1970s, preferrably from an Austrian perspective but WITH data, I'd be very much obliged. Thank you.
