oh wow, only five comments on this. This is actually one of the few people you've had on your show who knows what they're talking about and who is not a tool. Of course big gov't had a enormous hand in this mess. That's what happens when big govt dips it's hands into the so-called free market. But we continue to keep making fake credit because that's what half of wall street is based on. Eric Janszen is absolutely right.

Now can we publish this article in The National Review -- in 1999? Or 2003? Or 2006?

it's incredible that these ideas have not been explored more in the media or by the campaigns. it's the kind of creative thinking i believe will make a difference in the future of our economy. it moves beyond just understanding the crisis or the inherent problems that lead to a "blame game".

Mike...But Manufacturing doesn't have the "Greed" on top of it...if u make something, sell it, make money, you have earned it. The Finance indistry operates on speculation and greed...Moral problems then.

Finance is just a service like any other. There can just as easily be a crash in manufacture as in finance.
