What should the government do about ailing financial institutions?

Nothing, except to back off and get out—as any Objectivist knows, intervention is treating the disease with the disease

85%

Intervene judiciously—enough to avert a catastrophe that is otherwise imminent

Intervene massively—as it's doing

Nationalize the whole economy and be done with it. Bring on the USSA!

Real Name: Justin Friedlander
Description: My name is Justin Freidlander and after some success with a dot com company in the late nineties, I was able to effectively retire by the age of 30. I still undertake a little IT consultancy work, but spend most of my time pursuing my passion for knowledge, particularly philosophy, politics, and history. I don’t consider myself an Objectivist, but I’m certainly Objectivist friendly, and feel that I have a good grasp of the philosophy. I’m almost in total agreement with Rand’s metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and politics, but diverge when it comes to esthetics, love and sex, gender relations, and culture. I was raised in the Jewish faith and retain a strong connection to the Jewish community and culture.
