破产，经济恐惧和不确定性开始蔓延，美国人遭到了可以预见的无情的轰炸：自由市场经济失败了。雪上加霜的是，正是那些设计了导致混乱局面的政策的人，现在正在伪装成明智的公仆，他们将为我们指明出路。按照一个熟悉的模式，政府的失败被归咎于任何人和每个人，除了政府本身。当然，同样的政府失灵也被用来为进一步增加政府权力辩护。
folded, and economic fear and uncertainty began to spread, Ameri-cans have been bombarded with a predictable and relentless refrain: the free-market economy has failed. To add insult to injury, the very people who devised the policies that produced the mess are now posing as the wise public servants who will show us the way out. Following a familiar pattern, government failure has been blamed on anyone and everyone but the government itself. And of course, that same government failure is being used to justify further increases in government power.
