Colin Barr at Fortune argues that the rise in oil prices is a ‘rational response’ by speculators, even though “It’s tempting to view that bet as irresponsibly driving up gas prices and endangering a tepid economic recovery.”
Barr is a seasoned industry expert and begs an interesting question here: are the speculators who are driving up oil prices acting rationally?
Our answer is that of course they are acting rationally, but they are also acting irresponsibly.
