The Worlds Biggest Liars

'The invisible hand' that widens the market place
is itself driven by the law of unintended consequences
as one random decision begats another in a chain
where the results can be both benign and appalling.

That markets only ever celebrate success,
and always bury failure is part of their nature.

We can speak with pride
on being the worlds biggest liars,
particularly when we speak about ourselves.
