"Alan Greenspan, 'I got mugged by Reality'.” When Greenspan gets mugged, we all feel his pain. The former Federal Reserve chairman, Alan Greenspan, has conceded that the global financial crisis has exposed a "mistake" in the free market ideology which guided his 18-year stewardship of US monetary policy. theguardian.com

How I Got Mugged by Reality and Became a Conservative My story is similar although I must admit there really wasn't any indoctrination where I went to high school. The best non-technical class I had was Engineering Economics which was supposed to teach you about project costing but we spent the vast majority of the time using Visi-Calc to calculate ROI's on investments. This should be taught to every high school kid in my opinion. Regardless, between that course and the amount of taxes I paid out on internship money it was easy to convert. It truly is amazing what one sees when the blinders are removed.
