The exegesis on the global financial crisis that you’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the incomparable Bernard-Henri Levy:
One recalls "Leviathan," Rousseau’s "Social Contract," de la Boetie’s "Discourse on Voluntary Servitude"…
What is a social bond and how is it broken? Voila. Here we are. This debacle, this shipwreck, is showing us the answer…
Is man a predator of man? Does the fear of this predator slumber within us?
…Consider the tango of white-hot hate that has been discreetly called the "drying up of interbank credit."…
You start off with a financial crisis, then the whole cloth begins to unravel little by little: At the beginning you have a terrified crowd, and at the end, a lynch mob.
I knew BHL was rich, but damn he must have lost a lot of money this month.
