The Bailout Reader... essential reading
Perry de Havilland (London)  Globalization/economics

The Bailout Reader over on the Ludwig Von Mises Institute site is an essential reality based antidote to the crapulous ignorance on offer in the mainstream media on the current economic crisis. When it comes to economics at least, the Ludwig Von Mises Institute is hard to better.

If ever there was a 'Crisis of Regulatory Statism', look around you... this is it.

Read every word of it.

Did you hear the one about the state owned German bank asking for a government bailout? (Spiegel(Link))

Looks like there is a lot of good stuff in The Bailout Reader, but I'm sorry, Perry, there is no way I'm going to "read every word of it"! Some of us have to work for a living.

By the way, "crapulous" is an interesting word, but I'm rather partial to "fecular".

...the crapulous ignorance on offer in the mainstream media on the current economic crisis
As the Mainstream Media (in the US and abroad) becomes more upfront about their Democrat Party cheerleading, the "crapulous ignorance" is looking more and more like deliberate propaganda.
