The government is put in place by the people whom it governs, in the United States that is. We elect officials and give them titles, responsibilities, and issues to resolve in the most diplomatic way or in the best interests of the people. Why would we elect people to make decisions that can affect us so greatly? The answer is simple, without government we would have chaos. We should allow the government to intervene in economic affairs that are in the interest of the people of the United States of America. Intervention by no means constitutes dictatorship over the economy. Government officials should act responsibly and stick to their duties which have been granted to them . There are a two issues the government should intervene in when necessary; energy prices and product monopolies.
First, I will examine the necessity of the government's ability to control energy prices. In today's world it is almost impossible to flourish, consume, or produce without energy. The government should maintain healthy prices for necessary goods such as energy. Energy meaning: electricity, fuel, food, oil, etc. This will benefit not only the consumer, but also the producer. If energy costs less, then so will the cost of production.
Second, I will explain why government should control the monopolization of all goods, not only technologies. Fair trade is the only way to have a healthy economy. For fair trade to occur we must have companies share new products (and old) so that one group cannot gain enough control to where it can raise prices and avoid any competition, thus a negative impact on the consumer and the other producers. If the government has the power to regulate this, I think we should let them regulate it; is that not the reason why we elected these officials? They are supposed to regulate and keep things fair. The government regulates law and taxes, why should the economy be allowed to sidestep the government?.
