But Bush, Bernanke, Paulson and Co still want the package. They are seeking the rest of the world's help, too. The Bush administration that preferred to go it alone - in Afghanistan, in Iraq, and everywhere else - now needs the rest of the world. And the Congress and the world have to help the modern-day Robin Hoods go on robbing the poor to pay the rich.

Finance capitalism is the pursuit of profit through the purchase and sale of, or investment in, currencies and financial products such as bonds, stocks, futures and other derivatives, and through lending of capital for interest. In short, it's a dialectical outgrowth of industrial capitalism, and part of the process through which the entire capitalist phase of history would come to an end.
