Niall Ferguson on 'Planet Finance'

Paul,
I am astonished that neither you nor Niall fail to offer a solution to this current financial dilemma! It's quite simple really:
We trade Barney Franks for Alistair Darling!
I know that on the surface it would appear odd - after all, one would think that we should trade the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury (Paulson) for the British Chancellor of the Exchequer (Darling). But, I believe that would be incorrect - clearly a Franks/Darling swap is the answer to all our prayers!
I'll call Gordon Brown if you will call Ms. Pelosi.
