I knew I'd get a quote in about Greek Tragedies somewhere:
From the Prudent Bear Fund:
The idealized model extolled on Wall Street today has certainly not incurred a human cost comparable to communism, but in their cult of efficiency and reason, their ignorance of history and their willful contempt for other kinds of economic models, the champions of the American model embody the same kind of hubris and arrogance that have marked the central traditions of other false Utopias of the 20th century. And as any student of Greek tragedy knows, the presence of hubris usually means that nemesis – the righteous retribution of the Gods – is not far behind.
