		<description><![CDATA[Frederic Bastiat has been referenced before on this site. His understanding of political economy was unsurpassed. Here is an excerpt from his essay &#8220;Property and Plunder&#8221; that is almost a perfect description of the conditions in the US. I suppose any of us could have written such a description, but Bastiat wrote this in July <a href='http://www.economicnoise.com/2009/12/13/our-government-no-all-governments/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Milton Friedman was one of the strongest defenders of liberty and free-market capitalism. His insights, retrospectively, seem more important in light of what has happened and our current situation. This interview is  was done in 1975, almost 35 years ago. Viewed today, it is especially relevant for its prescience and cautions. It presents an excellent <a href='http://www.economicnoise.com/2009/12/04/milton-friedman-on-limited-government/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

It sheds light on how the crisis started and grew, and why government intervention will hurt rather than help. It is a good, elementary exercise in understanding economics.

Furthermore, no company or individual would be left with anything. The economy is in bad shape. Some say it is worse than any time since the Great Depression.
