The "Free Market" and the "State" are both the enemy. Both leach off each other and tango step in step. The State thrives off the built in inadequacies that the market produces, and on the other side the market is protected by rules and regulations put forth by the state. A balance to both is needed, but we sit picking one over the other, are arguments keep the music going as they both tango to are very own destruction. Railing for either is shortsighted, each needs each other to thrive. The State expands every time the market fucks up, and when the state "contracts" (sells off assets, pounds away at regulations and protections, etc.) the market flourishes.
Politics = Keeping both sides distracted thus keeping the music going so both The Market and State can continue their "dance".
Every topic one side does more harm then the other. But in regards to oil/energy I am hesitant to blame either. The situation has spiraled out of control that neither the market or the State can do much. Big Oil runs the show. Energy is the life blood of everything from credit creation to agriculture. Though The State and the Market play big roles in how energy is dolled out. The Big Players in the Board rooms in Houston, London and Calgary can effect every facet of human life from the wars raged, starving populations, and financial recessions.
