Not More Government, Better Government
"Only in exceptional circumstances are markets efficient...
Markets, we are told, continually process available information to spit out accurate
gauges of reality in the form of prices. That's the theory. The reality: markets are
frequently inefficient, and dominated by humans, with all their frailties."
-Joseph Stiglitz

The key is in discovering the failure of fundamentalism in all facets of life, in all manners of existence; the middle path, the middle way, must be found; market fundamentalism as the downfall of the global economy; religious fundamentalism as the downfall of thriving, tolerant society.
