Moss,

For some reason, the Federal Reserve convinced itself that it could focus exclusively on the prices of consumer goods instead of taking asset prices into account when setting monetary policy. In July 2004, the federal funds rate was just 1.25 percent, at a time when urban property prices were rising at an annual rate of 17 percent. Negative real interest rates at this time were arguably the single most important cause of the property bubble. Thank You. Agreed. The biggest blunder of all had nothing to do with deregulation.

Check out the blogs at mpettis.com. Of course, it's not called protectionism, but subsidizing exporters and manipulating the currency amounts to the same thing.

I hear you- don’t disagree that the chasing of fame and wealth are definitely not the path to happiness

individual liberty however is mutually exclusive from fame and wealth- you can have individual liberty and not be a chaser of fame and wealth- one does not determine the other-

a Utopian society in my mind means thought police- fine maybe in a homogeneous society- but that is not this country
