He praises redundancy and bad-mouths efficiency. Sounds like an ecologist. I think this is heresy to mainstream economics. It certainly speaks against globalization. Can a free market be reconciled with redundancy? Doesn’t a free market select for efficiency (and size)?
it was heresy until Bear, Lehman, AIG and about $1 trillion in market value went poof.
One of his big points is that the flaw in capitalism is too much efficiency. Investment banks (and their execs) make $$$ for years and years until (poof) all the money ever made by banking in history disappears. Meanwhile the execs that build in efficiency lose market share and get fired.
