Insurance often poses a problem of moral hazard. Fannie Mae exposed itself to excessive risk because it felt it could count on the federal government to cover it — even though the latter wasn’t statutorily obliged to. The whole concept of “too big to fail” that pervades the financial system today carries with it an indefinably large component of moral hazard.

And Woody Allen still uses a typewriter.

The greatest private fraud of human history.
Who are the great fraudsters who are becoming the murderers of the human kind? How does the economy “illness” threaten Democracy and the freedom of people?

By knowing what happened in indebted Greece, where loan sharks created “bubbles” and the current inhuman debt, one can understand the inhuman plan in total …understand where this plan started just to bring all states at the same end …understand how this type of plans are established…
