The Collapse of Countrywide Financial
July 24, 2008
As the fiction of the value of the dollar unwinds, the desert is strewn with detritus big and small.
Two days after I shot this discarded piece of a concrete mixer, scavengers were cutting it up, by hand, with hammers and crowbars, and hauling it off in old pickup trucks for it’s scrap value. All’s relative, and nature abhors a vacuum. It will be back on the shelves at Wal-Mart in another year for you to purchase in another form.
