How is it, Abbé Boulah, that in this God-fearing (or so they say) nation that reveres the Good Book in which the practice of money-lending at interest is denounced in numerous verses –(though the better-sounding advice “neither a lender nor a borrower be!” is from Shakespeare ) the notion that without a vigorous system of credit the entire country will go to the dogs — is so blindly believed by all political parties that its government abandons within one single week its hallowed doctrine of capitalism and adopts a scheme of taxpayer bailout of the foolish lenders who ran the largest lending institutions into bankruptcy?
Oh my friend Bog-Hubert: It is indeed fascinating. A miracle. But I am not sure anymore that all miracles are good…
