Michael Lewis article says rush to punish corporate wrongdoers is rewriting history, obscuring what was great about 90's; says it was during boom that rational, egalitarian structure--in which workers, through stock and options, had stake in their enterprise--gained popular acceptance; says periods of great prosperity always wind up being periods of great scandal; suggests scandal may somehow be essential ingredient in capitalism; says healthy free-market economy must tempt certain number of people to behave corruptly; says corporate crooks should be rounded up, but it is worth asking how they got away with it in the first place; questions where bold regulators and fire-breathing journalists were five years ago, when it actually would have been brave to inveigh against excesses of boom; says very people now baying so loudly for blood were in most cases creating climate that rewarded corrupt proctices; photos (L)
