Meaning
This reads as a warning that loosening financial rules can create instability rather than freedom. The point is not simply ideological, it is that complex systems with weak restraints can fail in predictable ways, and those risks are not mysterious. It lands in discussions of markets and policy, especially when deregulation is presented as harmless or automatically beneficial.

About Noam Chomsky
American intellectual, philosopher and linguist
Noam Chomsky is an American intellectual, philosopher, linguist, political activist, and social critic. He is widely known for his work in modern linguistics, and is sometimes called the father of that field. He has also played a major role in analytic philosophy and is regarded as one of the founders of cognitive science. Chomsky has held academic posts at the University of Arizona and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he is institute professor emeritus. His work spans language, philosophy, politics, and social criticism, and his writing often reflects those wide-ranging interests.
