But candidates for other spots on the economic team have also been sought among nonfinancial companies. Though Bush recognizes that his lifelong skepticism of Wall Street may have shaken its faith in his policies, he has not lost his view that business leaders who borrow to build things, rather than those who do the lending, are the ones who know best how the real economy works...
