The New York Times has a blog post about a paper by George Mason University economist Rusell Roberts that, as the Times puts it, "it was inept government policy, not Wall Street greed, that allowed the financial system to spin out of control." Says the Times: "While some believe more regulation is needed, Mr. Roberts argues that it was government intervention in the markets that created the crisis and that less, not more, regulation is what the system needs to heal and to survive."

FutureOfCapitalism.com interviewed Professor Roberts about his Hayek-Keynes video back in February.
