So what I'd like to know is, what does Paul Graham think about the current financial / credit markets crisis. Does the current crisis change any of his views as expressed on this and previous essays? For example the "Mind the Gap" essay comes to mind about generating wealth. With academics such as Nouriel Roubini (Dr. Gloom) predicting a systemic financial meltdown worldwide but mostly in the U.S., how can anyone remain optimistic about the future particularly with regard to fund raising for startups and wealth generation?
