...Paulson's lesson is that there is always more money. That is true at least in a panic when the Congress and Administration have convinced themselves, perhaps appropriately, that pushing huge amounts of capital into the economy is the only way to halt the recession...

Students interested in teaching their own seminars would apply to the administration in advance, with syllabi and lesson plans at the ready.

To build those reserves, they ran big trade surpluses, which were in turn enabled mainly by record trade deficits in the U.S., which were in turn enabled by massive borrowing from around the world. It was an extremely unbalanced financial ballet, and it has now come crashing to the ground...
