Look at the arms manufacturers that openly lament that there isn't enough of a left wing ruckus to scare people into buying more guns. Look at the right wing rebellion in Oregon over a nothing cap-and-trade bill that called for armed militia to protect the interests of oil.
What do either of these examples have to do with monopolies?
- tehjoker 7y agoMainly that there are players that are big enough, with enough concentrated power to care about politics and influence it. When such large industries lament that prices are falling because there's not enough fear, the logical question to ask is "What are they thinking of doing in response?" I don't think there's a constituency of ordinary people that's willing to go to war over cap-and-trade by itself (they will defend right wing politicians though), but what interests would be willing to push their puppets to take such drastic action? The energy companies of course.
