Re: In praise of bankruptcy (none / 0)

Quotes from an economist on this morning's CSPAN Washington Journal:

The global recession is on its way.
The US bailout was a small pebble in a turbulent sea.

ET's positions? (I'm going to start pushing you folks until you tell me to SHUT UP!)

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Re: In praise of bankruptcy (4.00 / 3)

Agree on both counts.

A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith
