No, not for us, but for Congress. Consider that they just came off their month-long August vacation. They put in a tough three weeks of work, and now they are off again, starting today. We’re up here in Dirksen — great Wi-Fi connection, by the way — and all is quiet, except for staffers putting the final touches on their weekend plans. Both the House and the Senate are out until next Friday, when they return for one — that’s right, one — day of work. Then both bodies are out again for another week’s worth of recess.
That should take us up to the time for the Halloween recess, which certainly takes us to the Thanksgiving recess, which dovetails nicely into the Christmas break. Somewhere in there, we may actually get a Supreme Court confirmation, and perhaps a spending reduction bill. Or not.

In fairness, you can only really judge the success of a book like this against its objectives, so I’m going to assume that this book was simply intended to be a bestsellers book brief jolly through some of the ideas and concepts behind markets because that’s all it is. Bearing in mind how respected and experienced Eamonn Butler is in the world of markets, I was looking for a book that defended markets, that vigorously waved the pro-market flag and took the time to carefully address the criticisms thrown at markets both before and during the current recession.
