The markets always win

News. May 17 (Bloomberg) -- Asian stocks fell the most in more than three months, the euro dropped to its lowest against the dollar since 2006 and the cost of insuring bonds from default jumped on concern European austerity measures will derail the economic recovery.

My point. The markets are the ultimate umpire. The politicians can make a mess out of their countries. The only way we, the people, finally realize the grotesque situation we are in is if the markets let us know.

Yet, there are some luminaries who believe the markets should be harnessed. There is no way this can be done.

The "smart" people in government should listen to the markets because the markets are always right. They always win.
