>The Ascendence of Sociopaths in US Governance  - Doug Casey - Casey Research
Mr. Casey's assessment of current government is trenchant and foreboding. However, his explanation of a national sociopathy is incomplete. True, contemporary government has become a haven for authoritarian individuals of every political and psychological stripe; but his analysis fails to include those sociopaths who are in the process of fomenting a coup in American business. Capitalism has been turned on its ear by these individuals and if they ultimately have their way capitalism will become what most of us fear: The Enemy. The processes which maintained the operations of American business forty years ago are no longer in place. Yeah, I understand why Mr. Casey is spending more time in Latin America: Our American business sociopaths haven't immigrated to that continent in numbers large enough to run their scams and Ponzi schemes - yet. This brings us back to some fundamental questions: Is investing a safe option anymore? Are the people you are doing business with as honest and trustworthy as they claim to be? If you become a victim to the machinations of, say, a Goldmanesque stock manipulation, will you receive justice and compensation from the perpetrators? Mr. Casey leaves out the other half of his equation - For as many corrupt and authoritarian government officials out there making business a deeply dangerous and arduous endeavor, there are an equal number of sociopaths in the business community darkly eager to take advantage of their connections in government to turn the business landscape into a fractured minefield. Where is Geithner from? Corzine? Countless others? I know where they're from and I know where they'll never be going.
