I picked up an older revision from abebooks or ebay. The Python 2.7 online docs recommend revision 1 and states later revs don't cover Python.

someone with a lot more money than you decided that they couldn't make a better return than financing your home loan

I'm not sure this is how fractional reserve banking works. Banks only supply a fraction of depositors money against a mortgage with the majority supplied by the fed. They basically make their money by investing other peoples money (including fed "imaginary" money) and by keeping a relatively low default rate.

All the short sighted articles are surprising. It is uncertain whether the "brexit" is better long term solution for the UK. Taking a look at the stock market a day after the vote is not going to show the true impact.
