Contrasting Treasury Secretaries

Mark Thoma at Economist's View reflects on the inaction and relative silence of Paulson during the current crisis. Thoma argues that Paulson seems to be too much of a believer in the wisdom of the market. On the other hand, Rubin, together with Greenspan and Summer, worked hard to correct problems when the markets were failing.

It seems that almost everyone in this administration prefers to believe rather than think.
