It’s too easy to argue that, if rising gasoline prices are caused by corporate greed, then falling gasoline prices must be caused by corporate altruism — or at least by a decline in corporate greed. (I did once succumb to the temptation to pursue this easy route.)
But perhaps a better explanation for the recent decline in gasoline prices is consumer greed. Consumers obviously have become more greedy, thus explaining this decline in prices at the pump.
Compelling, no?
