"some people" recommended "policies that were tested and proven to work"? -- What people, what policies? What position has been taken?
"mainstream camp thought otherwise" - otherwise to what?
"and followed their advice" - Really? So how is it that Ireland and the US and Iceland all responded very differently, if everyone followed the same flawed advice?
"we know who was right and wrong" - Much to my own surprise, we see that most of the solutions have worked to some degree, and the widely predicted great disaster has not occurred. Really the jury is still out.
