(Community Matters) Such an appropriately provocative essay by Paul Krugman today on the Irish banking crisis and the bailout of lenders – even bank shareholders – on the backs of the Irish public. Unbelievably, people are still worrying about whether or not shareholders will be wiped out – seriously, they haven’t been?  Important contrast with how this crisis handled in Iceland.  I hope all around the world we’ll reconsider criminal charges against those bankers and traders who didn’t only act maliciously but who have privately reaped handsome rewards.
