i am enjoying reading this but where here we clearly see reduction in prices due to freemarket and here i see Inflation in property so the value of a most precious asset has decreased in terms of dollar.

I have to warn you about that report. I excerpted a particular section because it was an adequate representation of the issue at hand. The issue is that natural gas pricing policy by government created a standard of regulation also influencing or bleeding into the pricing of crude oil. Gas and oil are often found together. The law suit established a precedent that led to greater government interference in the market for oil. The report was the view of a standard economist and most such economists believe in free markets, but under various conditions. They never want a truly free market because they say it isn't fair and they pull up examples from the past and from the form the market took then to prove that unconditioned free markets don't work. That's the subtle undertone you find in that report. You'll find everywhere throughout history and to this day all these guys trying so hard to bring about a competitive free market, but that isn't what they're really trying to do. They want a free market according to their own pet conditions of "fair". They'd prefer a completely unfree market to a truly free market. You need go no further than California or the FCC to see this. The only market that works is the one where it's unregulated dog-eat-dog wild in the streets free. What's fair is what seems not to be fair. What's equitable is when big guys seem to dominate the market. It's all illusion but you have to be educated to see it and to see how fair the free market actually is.
