…The most common question that comes up time and time again after the initial questions is ’should we bailout the banks and companies or let them go bust?’ This is my favourite question that seems to divide the nation. The question is much more about identity then anything else. It is loaded with many previous thoughts and philosophies and is never as straight forward as the question first appears – the free market v. the welfare state and government intervention, the left wing v. the right wing, classical economics v. Keynesian economics, the conservative v. the labour, Capitalism v. socialism, Jim Rogers v. Gordon Brown, Ron Paul v. Barack Obama. Bail them out or let them go bust. My response – neither will work.” Link to article
