Nassim Taleb, author of the Black Swan, discusses the sort of reverse Darwinism at place in the Obama (and Bush) administrations. Those who did the right thing are punished with higher taxes, banks that did the wrong thing get bailed out, those who didn’t see the financial crisis coming (Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner, etc.) get high level jobs and those who did (Peter Schiff, Niall Ferguson, Dean Baker) are ignored. It’s all the government doing what they do best: punishing success and rewarding failure.
