Great answer!!! Sometime during the deregulation craze of the 80s, my dear old mother--a scarred child of the depression was watch the news. She turned to me and snorted, "Fools! doesn't anyone remember what the economy was like before there were regulation on the banks?" I have long maintained that the reason regulated economies do better the deregulated ones is that regulations permit the honest businessman to prosper.

That's the one! I &heart; you. Or I owe you a beer, or something.
What's fascinating in its own right is how approximately I remembered the comment and its followup, and that someone (heh) was still able to locate it. And it was posted just over one year ago.
I got the poster wrong. I correctly remembered that Jérôme wrote the followup, but he never used the word "nutshell".
I doubt we'll ever see any search engine cope with imcomplete information like this and pull off such a feat.
