I'm curious to know who might have read today's op-ed by Brooks in the Times and what your thoughts are about the ideas expressed.  Not being an economics guru by any means, I am skeptical about both the free market fundamentalism of the neocons and the Keynesian ideas now back in vogue.  While I think Brooks may have some good points about faith and trust in the market, it does not appear that he has much to say about what actions Obama et al could take to help restore faith and trust, or at least improve them measurably.  Your thoughts?
