O assalto de Paulson
Excelente e vivamente recomendado o artigo de Luigi Zingales, professor na Universidade de Chicago, sobre o subsídio a fundo perdido proposto pelo Tesouro para supostamente salvar a América e, por arrasto, o mundo, da famina e da doença, intitulado Why Paulson is Wrong.
Na memória fica em especial o último parágrafo:
The decisions that will be made this weekend matter not just to the prospects of the U.S. economy in the year to come; they will shape the type of capitalism we will live in for the next fifty years. Do we want to live in a system where profits are private, but losses are socialized? Where taxpayer money is used to prop up failed firms? Or do we want to live in a system where people are held responsible for their decisions, where imprudent behavior is penalized and prudent behavior rewarded? For somebody like me who believes strongly in the free market system, the most serious risk of the current situation is that the interest of few financiers will undermine the fundamental workings of the capitalist system. The time has come to save capitalism from the capitalists.
Este é um daqueles momentos que acontecem uma vez por geração, que permitem separar o trigo do joio. E os verdadeiros apoiantes de uma economia de mercado livre, justa, responsabilizadora e transparente de um pseudo-capitalismo corporativista conluiado com a elite política - uma versão light das oligarquias dos regimes comunistas.
