Ponzi and Minsky, and Arnold Kling's view

And yet continued evidence in support of Hyman Minsky's theories:

"I think that what happened last fall — the drastic market behavior — just put these guys in a position, you know, the cockroaches came out of the wall"

Arnold Kling agrees Minsky may have got at least part of this whole mess right. But he questions why we should bail out the "fools" that fell for such schemes. I think perhaps he forgets that many of those "fools" were hard working Americans that were either unsophisticated investors, or indirect (but nevertheless just as effected) innocent bystanders.

More and more people like to choice buying replica handbags instead of the real one to save money. If you really love designer replica handbags style, and you can not afford one bag cost $1000, the top quality replica designer handbags will be your best choice at the cheapest price. One real bag will cost $1000, but if you spend money on the top quality designer bags , you will get 4 or 5 different styles to suit you go out to different occasions.
