So, what would be an alternative to these economic models that would actually be beneficial to individuals, families and businesses? That would be the real lesson drawn from the education.

I don't want to pay for the stupid lost bets, but everyone should reap the rewards when someone wins big. Investments are risks and investors have found ways to absolve themselves of risk by pushing the consequences onto everyone but themselves. I started writing a lot more. It was just a disjointed rant. Basically our economic system is a mess that screws most people over. We need to fix this by solving the problems the vulnerable face. Don't like it? Leave society completely. The cost of inclusion is helping your neighbors no matter how much you don't want to.
