The Torah has price controls.

Please illustrate where the Torah has firm price controls.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head that might be considered a price control is the issur of “ona’ah.” However, that depends on the already existing market price of an item which can fluctuate depending on supply and demand. There is no firm price control there.

Yes, there are firm prices for certain religious services (a pidyon Haben is always 5 shkalim) — but for general market goods and services, I don’t see where there are any firm price controls.
