Likely my biggest disagreement with leftists is that I think money prices tend to reflect costs, not create them. That's why I think suppressing prices mostly hurts the worst off and why helping them requires abolishing monopoly privileges and artificial property rights.
That's why I'm 100% on board with descriptions of socialism as "stateless, classless, moneyless" societies up until that very last one. Unless socialism means severe impoverishment, inequality, and waste, it REQUIRES a means of impersonally conveying tacit, distributed knowledge.
Prices are the truly cosmopolitan, egalitarian, levelling, and horizontal social technology the left has always been in search of. They are the "universal language" that transcends borders, trumps bigotry, and provides exit to the socially marginalized. 
And leftists really need to realize the right knows this! The right has ALWAYS known this. That's why they prefer the static traditionalism of hierarchy, coercion, & militarism to the dynamic pluralism of free exchange. In suppressing prices leftists do the right's work for them.
