Supply, demand and oil

Saudi Arabia has sold and is selling far more oil than it would if basic economic principles were observed. The excess — the difference between the volume of oil actually supplied and the volume that should be supplied in the strict observance of the national economic interests of Saudi Arabia — is in fact a subsidy it grants the West, Japan and other oil-importing nations.
