World's economies tumbling like dominoes

  • "It is not that the free market failed. The mistake was constant interventions in the free market by the Fed and the U.S. Treasury that addressed symptoms and postponed problems instead of solving them."

  • "Further interventions through ill-conceived bailouts and bulging fiscal deficits are bound to prolong the agony and lead to another slump -- possibly an inflationary depression with dire social consequences."

Not exactly a feel-good piece, but understanding where you are is an essential component of figuring out where you're headed.
