Not to spoil your fine analogy, but as you probably know forestry services and farmers have engaged in controlled burns[1] for quite some time as part of sound wildlife conservation methods. In keeping with your analogy, what may be wrong with current economic governance is the lack of letting a recession run its course and, for example, letting big banks who gambled too much fail instead of propping them up. The revolving door between, say, Goldman Sachs and the Dept of Treasury has something to do with this, I think.
