Frank Pasquale is a Professor of Law with a focus on Health Care Regulation and Enforcement at Seton Hall University.

Pasquale describes the current world wide upheaval as one that sets the top murder-bankers as the "Robbin Hood" character as portrayed by their loyal dogs of information wars in the media. As such it is the capitalist who is beaten down by the billy club of regulation and taxation who if given his freedom from the club of social responsibility would create a world of......oh wait were living in their world.
