Dogmatic neoliberal claim that “the less state intervention, the better” not only caused the crisis, but also blinds us to its real causes. Neoliberals and parts of the public influenced by them fail to notice that the system of housing credits created during the New Deal era worked well until the financial market was deregulated. While amending this market one should remember the views of Adam Smith, who emphasized the role of both market and the state in guarding values on which capitalism has been built.
