Nomi Prins on Paulson's Plan B

When the $750 billion plan to buy toxic securities failed to perk up Wall Street, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson switched course to buy stock in banks as a way to unfreeze the credit market.

Prins is calling for reregulating the financial markets. The whole article is short, lively, and worth reading.
