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: Mindy Newton
Description: I am a mature, married woman with one child. My academic and career background include psychology, philosophy, and academic administration. I have "been an Objectivist" for decades. I worked for a while for The Intellectual Activist, have written book reviews for Second Renaissance Books, and have attended several Objectivist conferences and workshops.
I am particularly interested in "Objectivist" epistemology, and the mind-body problem. I have long searched for someone able to delve into either topic.
Other interests include rocks, music (composition and performance-Bassoon) tennis, invention and intellectual property issues, and horse-back riding.
I am also a staunch critic of the failing education system.
