Re: Markets have completely failed (4.00 / 4)
Yeah, like the crash of 1929. We're still talking about it 80 years later.

But 50 years after the crash, Reagan and Thatcher got into power and unleashed Friedmanomics on the unsuspecting masses.

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
