He draws a variety of parallels between the treatment, actions, and powers of The Market and God, and uses these parallels to draw conclusions about how to relegate The Market to a more appropriate role. His central thesis is that humans created markets for specific purposes, but they have now has grown too prominent in the psyche of its adherents, and thus has expanded into The Market, a deity that is not only intruding on other institutions but is ineffective…

John Allison lays out his plan to fix the world economy, following the financial crisis in 2007, in his book, The Financial Crisis and the Free Market Cure.

The majority of the chapters in his book follow the same format: blame some federal regulatory body, show how those regulatory actions pushed the financial industry to make mistakes, then tell about his experience at BB&T and how they avoided the worst of the collapse. Allison holds nothing back taking shots at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Federal Reserve.…

Jackson’s main policies consisted of breaking down the Bank of the U.S., the achievement of extending the voting right to white men without power, and rooting out all corruption in American politics.…
