This is great. . . .

"The concept of nationalization is quite foreign to Americans. Yet during the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s the very economists who are discussing possible nationalization, among them Treasury nominee Tim Geithner and Obama adviser Lawrence Summers, told overseas governments they had to be willing to let major banks fail.

"We told the Asians that they had to be willing to let banks and companies fail," Jeffrey Garten, a professor at the Yale School of Management, and former Clinton administration official, told The New York Times.

"We warned that there was a great moral hazard if governments just bailed them out. And now, we are doing the polar opposite of our advice.""
