Guest Aloysius Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 A fascinating and disturbing article in the latest issue of The Atlantic. I definitely recommend checking it out: The Quiet Coup The crash has laid bare many unpleasant truths about the United States. One of the most alarming, says a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, is that the finance industry has effectively captured our government—a state of affairs that more typically describes emerging markets, and is at the center of many emerging-market crises. If the IMF’s staff could speak freely about the U.S., it would tell us what it tells all countries in this situation: recovery will fail unless we break the financial oligarchy that is blocking essential reform. And if we are to prevent a true depression, we’re running out of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
