no such thing - this is a political term
price gouging is clearly a political term invented to demonize the basic functions of a free market. when supply falls, price has to increase to prevent shortages. econ 101. those who do not believe in econ 101 invent various terms to undermine basic functions of a free economy because "muh feels". notice that the definition says price gouging is when a price goes higher to what is "reasonable" or "fair". what on earth is that? who decides what is reasonable and fair?

- Price gouging is crime/civil wrong in many jurisdictions. As such, it is a legal concept and is rightly included in Wikipedia. It may be political in the sense that various governments may have policies related to this. But ultimately, the concept is the subject of multiple pieces of legislation and is therefore a legitimate concept regardless of how any given person may feel about particular policies or laws related to it.
