David Brooks at the New York Times discusses <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/15/opinion/15brooks.html?hp">The Larger Struggle</a> writing:<br /> <blockquote style="color: #996633;">"In the democratic capitalist world we have oil companies, like Exxon Mobil, BP and Royal Dutch Shell, that make money for shareholders. <br /> In the state capitalist world there are government-run enterprises like Gazprom, Petrobras, Saudi Aramco, Petronas, Petróleos de Venezuela, China National Petroleum Corporation and the National Iranian Oil Company. These companies create wealth for the political cliques, and they, in turn, have the power of the state behind them. <br /> With this advantage, state energy companies have been absolutely crushing the private-sector energy companies. In America, we use the phrase Big Oil to describe Exxon Mobil, BP, Royal Dutch Shell and others. But that just shows how parochial we are. In fact, none of these private companies make it on a list of the world’s top 13 energy companies. A generation ago, the biggest multinationals produced well more than half of the world’s oil and gas. But now, according to Bremmer, they produce just 10 percent of the world’s oil and gas and hold only about 3 percent of the world’s reserves."</blockquote>Hat tip to CaryGEE.<br /> <br /> Crossposted from <a href="http://lawpundit.blogspot.com/2010/06/state-energy-conglomerates-dominate.html">LawPundit</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5216085644992298989-524280017155486043?l=privatewealthblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PrivateWealthBlog/~4/SbiHdoB1vZQ" height="1" width="1"/>Andis Kaulinshttps://profiles.google.com/106901752017172381157noreply@blogger.com0http://privatewealthblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/state-energy-conglomerates-dominate.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216085644992298989.post-5093795304161383832010-06-08T22:41:00.000+02:002010-06-08T22:41:55.207+02:002010-06-08T22:41:55.207+02:00 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ZBlD7VAalTahD3TTVgz5oCUdsz4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ZBlD7VAalTahD3TTVgz5oCUdsz4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ZBlD7VAalTahD3TTVgz5oCUdsz4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ZBlD7VAalTahD3TTVgz5oCUdsz4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><a href="http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-06-08/east-european-private-equity-outlook-improves-update1-.html">East European Private Equity Outlook Improves (Update1) -
