John Henry Versus Deus Ex Machina (Michael Perelman Versus The Invisible Handcuffs)
Now that Adam Smith is smitten
And the dearth of nations is upon us
AND
His invisible hands can’t rescue us
MEANWHILE
John Henry has the tendons
AND ALWAYS WITH HIS TOOL
HE IS BANGING THAT WORMHOLE TOWARDS OUR FUTURE
Why do we continue to short sell?
