Once, in a dry season, I wrote in large letters across two pages of a notebook that innocence ends when one is stripped of the delusion that one likes oneself. Although now, some years later, I marvel that a mind on the outs with itself should have nonetheless made painstaking record of its every tremor, I recall with embarrassing clarity the flavor of those particular ashes.

Although there are some points of similarity, the 2007-08 financial crisis is not tied to the same narrative as the 1929 Great Depression that Karl Polanyi analysed (1933). However, the most recent financial bust reveals the same incessant pull between proponents of laissez faire and the movement of protection of society as the Great Depression did.
