The Market cannot fail. It can only be failed.



Started Googling about markets being treated as religion, found this 1999 article from the Atlantic:

http://www.theatlantic.com/past/issues/99mar/marketgod.htm

"The East Asians' troubles, votaries argue, derive from their heretical deviation from free-market orthodoxy -- they were practitioners of "crony capitalism," of "ethnocapitalism," of "statist capitalism," not of the one true faith."

Interesting reading.
