The longer I go on, the more I am aware of the power of finance.

Now financial liberalization is just a catastrophe waiting to happen, and there are very well understood reasons for that.

Financial regulation is the next item on the political horizon, and it doesn't have to be the deathly dull wonk-battle that it sounds like. In fact, if the Democrats do their job, it can just as easily become a platform for addressing the greatest issues of them all.

It starts with campaign finance reform.
