This is only in markets where there will always be high demand. Energy, food, and housing, among other things. Otherwise, they cannot simply jack the prices up as people will simply decide the price outweighs the product.

Nationalization does not gaurantee the effectiveness of some industry, only that the people have more control over it. Nationalizing is not the only way to increase reliability; one can set requirements for those industries based on an interest in public health, which is how many of the things such as energy are done here.
