Black calls the Dodd-Frank reforms useless in practical terms; notes that "too big to prosecute" is now the officially stated policy of the Department of Justice; and laments the gratuitous insanity of the austereans.

Leaving The Cave of Media Shadows —
20 Jul 2013—

He thinks the levels of momentum and force involved are so great that efforts by good-minded people to effect course corrections are unlikely to succeed—the current experiment will simply have to play out until it fails due to its own internal impossibilities.
