From Free Markets to Absolute Power: The Warped Views of 'Bank Speak'

Great post. Your comments on education are, I think, quite accurate. I've been whining for the better part of the last 9 months that we have not had an open discussion about the causes of our current crisis. But even if we did, the lack of education and a lack of widespread access to "the truth" would probably not get us very far.

Your best point though is the quote you give to your clients that starts "Find me one histroy book..." which, in my opinion, is one of the best explanations of the cycle of "crisis thinking." Crises of every kind ultimately lead to an increased role for government to play.

Thank you for a great article.
