Are print on demand books more expensive than normal published books?

I would like to publish my book. I would like to publish it as print on demand. I don't like the idea of giving my book away to a publisher. I want to have control and remain responsible for marketing and for my book in general. I don't want waste; the idea of first printing a book when there is a buyer is amazing.

But is POD cheaper than publishers? I think it should be: you don't have waste while you traditionally have a lot of unsold books. It's only printed while traditional publishers have a huge team working on the book for an entire year. And making a lot of PR for the book as well.
