Conservative Mag: End of Laissez-Faire Finance

Posted by Chris Sturr | Filed under Uncategorized | Oct 15, 2008 | No Comments

A tip from our friend Ian Fletcher:

Here’s a good article in which the magazine The American Conservative essentially calls for an end to laissez-faire finance, not just a patch to fix current problems.

The author is Eamonn Fingleton, a Tokyo-based Irish financial journalist who is one of the most trenchant non-socialist critics of capitalism alive. His book Blindside is probably the most important work of economics you’ve never heard of.

Best Regards,
Ian Fletcher
