they went and bought other credit default swaps to protect themselves in case aig failed. and theredit default swap market functioned all through the financial crisis without any halt. even though there were lots of problems everywhere else, the credit default swap market functioned fully and continued to operate. it is now much more heavily regulated than it was before. but the regulations, in my view, are simply imposing many more costs. they are centralizing the risks instead of putting the risks out, diversifying the risks throughout the financial system, where there is much more capital to take them. it is now centralizing the risks in various government-backed institutions, called financial markets utilities. and as a result of that, they are a likely cause, in my view, of another financial crisis in the future. the way we protect ourselves is by diversification, not by centralizing risk. jennifer: peter, thank you very much. we're going to have to wrap up. thank you. announcer: coming up, a look at women and foreign policy. after that, matthew green. announcer: on the next
