The interesting thing about Oliver's Oz segment is that it makes a good case for the needlessness of regulations. The FDA isn't preventative about health, as it acts mostly after a problem arises. But this is pointless since markets respond just fine as well. Pro-government sensibilities on the issue of food safety mostly lies in its preventative aspects. Since the FDA doesn't actually do prevention, well... Another irony is that this segment is the market in action. It's not by government policies that Oliver brings Oz's hypocrisy to light

I don't think regulation solves this problem at all

Markets (all of economics, really) boil down to incentives. While in a perfect world, government may not be necessary, in our world, government can work well as long as its policies make beneficial incentives. Singapore's healthcare system is an example of great government. Incentives are all aligned
