Re: The EU question (Response to Louis - II)

What you are saying above is typical a "rational agency model". You are
assuming that private actors always know what is in their best interests,
so they calculate probabilistic measures of risk based on their own
estimates. This model does not work in reality because the reality is much
more complex. If it did, we would not have financial crises. Capitalists
do not always act rationally just as markets do not always promise
predictability and certainty. Most of the time, they fail.
Forget what model you believe I'm talking about. If the profit expectations
of capitalists failed systematically, as you say, then they would all be
broke. Does that make sense to you?
