"No regulatrion"

«In a paper presented just before his death, Mr. Gramlich wrote that “the subprime market was the Wild West. Over half the mortgage loans were made by independent lenders without any federal supervision.” What he didn’t mention was that this was the way the laissez-faire ideologues ruling Washington — a group that very much included Mr. Greenspan — wanted it. They were and are men who believe that government is always the problem, never the solution, that regulation is always a bad thing.» (Paul Krugman, New York Times).
Também entre nós ha quem pense que "o Estado é sempre o problema, não a solução, e que a regulação e sempre uma má coisa". Ouvi alguns deles na conferência da ERC sobre regulação.
