Mortgage in one lesson

Friend, Shruti Rajagopalan has interesting article tracks the present US financial crisis and shows the true picture of The State which is helpless and do nothing to solve but create the layers of crisis to prolong. She writes “are these “toxic asset prices” a good thing? Nobel Prize-winning economist F.A. Hayek would certainly think so. According to Hayek, the “most significant fact about this (price) system is the economy of knowledge with which it operates, or how little the individual participants need to know in order to be able to take the right action… Therefore, in abbreviated form, by a kind of symbol, only the most essential information is passed on and passed on only to those concerned.” The price of the pearls is more than just what is on the sticker. Prices give away millions of small bundles of information to millions of individuals. If these prices are manipulated, or fixed by the government, they will distort the knowledge given by the prices.
