"It will take a lot of thought by many philosophers and economists to propose realistic solutions"

May I quote Marx's famouse words that "The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways;the point is to change it"
The worldwide financial crisis is not an accidental event,it has its inevitability.We need to find a way to prevent it happen again.We need a
regulated financial system,we need more strict reasurement to fight economic fraud in stock , banking and mortgage.We need to narrow the income gap between billionaire GOP and ordinary people.

I really liked your article and agree with you wholeheartedly. Your ideas and thoughts are promising, but it will require a "strong" leadership backing and constituency to push those ideas across society. Not only that, with so much going on around the world, one "minor" distraction will cause those ideas to be thrown to the wayside without ever having had a chance to be taken seriously.
