Wikipedia description:

Isabella M. Weber (born 1987) is a German economist. She is an associate professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Weber became more widely known for having taken a position in favor of a price control policy. Her op-ed published in The Guardian in December 2021 caused an uproar among economists, including Paul Krugman, who later apologized for his tone. Weber's thoughts around focusing more on what she calls "sellers' inflation" (instead of focusing on increased demand) have become more popular and mainstream by 2023, especially in Europe. In additional to price caps and strict anti-price gouging legislation to combat inflation, she also supports windfall profit taxes.
