Throughout the nineties, news of redundancies and lagging wages rallied stock prices and, conversely, news of even the most marginal wage increases undermined 'market confidence'. Yet speculators still maintain their belief in an acausal world, one in which no-one loses out and wealth is somehow copied or coaxed into being, rather than forcible relocated. Advocates of unmoderated market forces regularly denounce the notion of a 'free lunch', yet the speculators' model of wealth creation presupposes an acausal miracle -- a kind of economic bi-location. The fact that Lewis describes the financial markets as indestructible and intangible serves only to illustrate just how closely free market ideology can mirror the religious fundamentalism he derides.
