A word from abroad
Free Exchange: "...as events turn
from an unprecedented and opaque crisis into something better
understood and more common, boundaries around public authority ought to
re-emerge, even if not quite where they used to be.
There is a
big difference between the urgent improvisation tolerated in a crisis
and sound government... It will be
important to recognise the extent to which the financial meltdown of
September becomes the more normal recession of tomorrow. At some point,
governments need to learn their new roles and stop inventing them."
- In other words, when will the government back off and let businesses swim or sink on their own.
