Buckley Column on Economics

Insightful column by William F. Buckley at National Review Online (Read Here). His article ends with this wise statement: "Don't get overexcited about the market. It is doing its work." Even the best economy in the world has problems---it's still, however, the best. I've always wondered why the typical American can't understand and appreciate this. I think that our lack of contentment is due to a misunderstanding of the world and America's historical place in it. We are, still, the most successful society on earth--if not in all history. Certainly, we live like kings and queens. "If only I could just afford that new High Definition Television!!" Life is tough here in America!
