"Still, the global financial crisis was a lesson that less intervention is not always the best intervention.
Markets are a powerful tool for allocating scarce resources, linking capital and customers, and producing huge sums of material wealth.
But frameworks matter. It is up to government to establish an institutional framework that harnesses capitalism's productive capacity and constrains its destabilizing impulses.
It is also up to government to ensure the system serves broad public interest and not just those of big Market players. This means developing an agenda focused on getting good outcomes for working and middle-class people, not on fulfilling intellectual abstractions."
-Stephen Harper. Right Here Right Now.
