Disasters like the toxic securities are thoroughly planned financial terrorism- in the ensuing chaos, the ruling class capitalizes on the demands for order that arise in the aftermath of these completely unsurprising 'surprise' events, by offering its business partner, Big Government, as the only solution. And so the cycle continues.
"There cannot be any doubt that this bureaucratic system is essentially anti-liberal, undemocratic, and un‑American, that it is contrary to the spirit and to the letter of the Constitution, and that it is a replica of the totalitarian methods of Stalin and Hitler. It is imbued with a fanatical hostility to free enterprise and private property. It paralyzes the conduct of business and lowers the productivity of labor. By heedless spending it squanders the nation’s wealth. It is inefficient and wasteful. Although it styles what it does planning, it has no definite plans and aims. It lacks unity and uniformity; the various bureaus and agencies work at cross‑purposes. The outcome is a disintegration of the whole social apparatus of production and distribution. Poverty and distress are bound to follow."
Ludwig Von Mises
