Great quotes, kennyc
I currently reading Barry Eichengreen's "Hall of Mirrors" which compares what was happening in banking and finance during the run-up to the Great Depression and the current Great Recession. The second Steinbeck quote is an all-too-apt description of the Frankenstein financial system that was built before the crash started in 2007.
