"We Have Capitalism for the Poor and Socialism for the Rich" - Mark Blyth
Quite a good one from Mark Blyth. He says the US economic system is like a Mustang which has been prioritised for maximum speed but with less spent on safety features. Europe is more like an Audi, he continues, which may be slower, but it has loads of stafety system - crash it, and you will probably survive in one piece.
