Wall Street is riding high on collective fantasies: That key insurers are in fine shape, bad economic news doesn't count, the dollar isn't in trouble and more risky mortgages will fix the mess.
Capitalists pray for socialism
In any case, the determination to suppress the destructive downside of capitalism and ensure permanent prosperity is a terrible idea that will not work.
