    This is where Treasury’s equity pays off big time. By purchasing stakes in these financial institutions, Treasury is sending a signal to the market that they are a safe bet. Why safe? Not because their level of risk has been accurately assessed at… More

  2. Visit Daily Kos: The Panic of 2008 Daily Kos: The Panic of 2008

    http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/10/10/8563/2249/357/626117

    This is an orderly panic. And it marks the end of the world that everyone reading this has known. Perhaps we can muddle through this one without fundamental change, by printing paper and then standing in place. But in reality we need to make chang… More

    These are people who want to be rewarded as if they were entrepreneurs. But they aren’t. They didn’t have anything at risk. That’s almost exactly right, except that they did have something at risk. What they put at risk, though, was other people’… More

  4. Visit Fear is Back - and Mad as Hell Fear is Back - and Mad as Hell

    http://www.dailyreckoning.com/rss/DR100808sec1.html

    The poor lumpeninvestor doesn't know what to make of it. It seems like only yesterday he was told that everything was all right. Alan Greenspan said so. So did Hank Paulson. And Ben Bernanke. And George W. Bush. We have the strongest economy in th… More

    http://blogs.ft.com/maverecon/2008/10/a-special-resolution-regime-for-banks-must-put-tax-payers-before-shareholders-and-bank-creditors

    It’s reasonable to assume that the banking system in the North Atlantic region is insolvent and would be bankrupt but for the reality of recent government bailouts and the expectation of future government bailouts. Certainly, for the system as a … More

    GREED — and its crafty sibling, speculation — are the designated culprits for the financial crisis. But another, much admired, habit of mind should get its share of the blame: the delusional optimism of mainstream, all-American, positive thinking.

  7. Visit Douglas Rushkoff » No Money Down Douglas Rushkoff » No Money Down

    http://rushkoff.com/2008/09/30/no-money-down

    The whole show was a fitting metaphor for the credit crunch, a misnamed sabotage of the credit system by institutions with the problem of too much, not too little, money to put to work. As I explained in my last column, banks and credit institutio… More

    http://www.onthecommons.org/content.php?id=2249

    In this sense, I think the Wall Street crisis is as much one of “cognitive confusion” and political disorientation as a genuine financial drama. Witness yesterday’s House rejection of the bailout, which saw staunch liberals joining hard-core Repub… More

  10. Visit Analysing capitalism — Crooked Timber Analysing capitalism — Crooked Timber

    http://crookedtimber.org/2008/10/01/analysing-capitalism

    The events of the last weeks have made me wonder about the agenda of contemporary analytical political philosophy. There are many ways to describe the current financial crisis, but it’s not implausible to say that the foundations of capitalism are… More
