Unlike a free market the rationed items do not go up in price.

Which is typically a bad thing. When items are in short supply you want the prices to go up, which will tend to reduce demand and often increase supply.

I was in the RVN in 72-73 when cigarettes and booze were rationed.

These are "essentials"?
