I love the irony that after the panopticon article, on the next page of today's NYTimes, in an article about how bigtime real estate developers can lose billions and emerge relatively unscathed (and able to raise billions more from investors), there is this quote: "Capital is blind." - David Levinson, of the real estate firm L&L Holding Company ("It will go wherever it can for a return. That's it in a nutshell.") Yes, capital is blind, but it is also developing an all-seeing eye. Most frightening. Of course, that all-seeing eye can't prevent it from stumbling from crisis to crisis.
