Consider the following matrix:
Pro-Business Anti-Business Pro-Market Anti-Market The point is that there really are four separate categories, not just the two pro's and the two anti's. On health care reform and bank regulation, I would argue that the Obama Administration is trying to be pro-business and anti-market. The wonks do not trust markets at all, and they think they can do a better job of regulating them. But they are more than willing to keep big business interests happy.
...
Pro-market and anti-business might seem like an odd combination. But those of us who oppose "too-regulated-to-fail" as a strategy for large financial firms and instead support making failure a viable option for any business might be put in that camp.
