    • Abstract:
      The author talks about American's aversion to risk-taking which was the most precious heritage their forefathers launched. He talks about the anxiety the closure of Barings Bank brought to business institutions and the resulting outcome of a stalled, ultraconservative enterprise that cannot contribute to a healthy society and robust economy. Also discussed is the essay "Fear of Living" by Henry Fairlie which was published in the magazine "New Republic."
