...another, more insidious, flaw. As the industry has grown, it has become harder to tell good investment managers from lucky ones - and lucky ones from outright frauds. In a recent paper, Dean Foster, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and H. Peyton Young, a senior fellow in economics at the Brookings Institution, argued that the lack of industry regulation makes bad managers nearly impossible to detect. By making bets that have a relatively low probability of failing - say, 10% - an unskilled manager has a 90% chance of making good. But if the bet does go south...

Central to Obama's cross-party appeal was his clarion call to end America's corrosive red-blue polarization. Republican pols like Crist may take that ideal even more seriously than the hyperpartisan likes of Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. It's a long shot, but a more centrist-minded GOP could be the country's best guarantor against the Democrats...
