The end of free market

"There is no such thing as a free market anymore," Deutsche Bank's global head of foreign exchange research, George Saravelos, wrote in a special report titled: The end of the free market: impact on currencies and beyond." In a matter of weeks, policymakers have become a backstop for private-sector credit markets. At the extreme, central banks could become permanent command economy agents administering equity and credit prices, aggressively subduing financial shocks. It would be a bi-polar world of financial repression with high real economy volatility but very low financial volatility. A 'zombie' market."

"What we're witnessing here is nothing less than the death of capitalism and birth of something new," said Mati Greenspan, the founder of analysis and advisory firm Quantum Economics. "It's quite fascinating, really."

"By offering to buy an 'unlimited' amount of assets from the market the Fed is basically saying that they'd rather nationalize the markets than see prices drop. What started out a decade ago as an experiment in monetary policy now has us witnessing the transition to a new economic system."

Тут, конечно, хотелось бы заслушать тех кто понимает почему ситуация с Кавано была совсем другая и особенно тех, кто считает, что жертвам надо обязательно верить.
