https://antilibertarian.wordpress.com/2009/01/08/the-gods-of-greed

And in that same spirit I recently stumbled upon a blog called Naked Capitalism. My first thoughts were of more Rothbardian masturbatory stories of the glory of the “free market”. Instead I found an article. Talking about a new book being pimped in the Gaurdian called “ The Gods That Failed: How Blind Faith in Markets Has Cost Us Our Future.
