If some institution wants to sell you a billion dollars worth of mortgages, they might have to sell 100 million in the market, and then you'll buy the other 900 million on the same terms.

Remember that banks aren't markets. The market is amoral. The market doesn't care who you are. You're a trade to the market. The market will sell you if they think you're riskier. Banks didn't do that
That's not free market when companies go out and move and sell back into America. No, that's the dumb market, O.K.? That's the dumb market.
Every year, we couldn't believe it, and even when I look back on it now, to sell 14 million singles, 50 million albums and sell out arenas and stadiums, what Westlife achieved was crazy.

Globalization, meaning the global expansion of a market economy, is the only way we can guarantee widespread prosperity and peace.
