Do you remember the mea culpa that Alan Greenspan, Mr. Bernanke’s
predecessor, delivered on Capitol Hill last fall? He said that he was
“in a state of shocked disbelief” that “the self-interest” of Wall

He shouldn’t have been. The looting theory explains why his
laissez-faire theory didn’t hold up. The bankers were acting in their
self-interest, after all.
