[M]arkets were not made in heaven... and they are helping the privileged, as they are constituted today. - John Komlos

Pain... plays a major role in my thinking. I advocate its minimization.

The meltdown of 2008 was a wasted crisis... because the homeowners were not bailed out. The financial sector was bailed out, the banks... the bankers... but... 8 million homeowners were thrown out of their homes.

Friedrich Hayek made a tremendous mistake in arguing that The Road to Serfdom leads through tyrannical governments... because there are multiple roads to serfdom... [A]nother... leads through the tyranny of oligarchs.
