The
Editorial
Our eyes, so long adjusted to the night, look upon dawn’s flourish as a blinding horror. But the dogma that economic fireballs are terrible is itself terribly misleading. Those who ignore the shepherds, who profane the idols in their rollicking disdain for solvency —these lively paupers will prosper in the new epoch, although the new prosperity with be unrecognizable to the old. The shredding of our institutional infrastructure is ultimately no worse than the sun’s abolition of bleak shadows.
