I was thinking just last night that it feels as if we have easily eclipsed the grand rapacious greed that Wall Street made iconic of the 80's, and yet we're still accelerating in that direction, with very few signs of awareness of the situation from governments (as the only entity reasonably able to reign it in). If members of governments are profiting, and therefore incredibly unlikely to propose anything resembling a brake, what hope is there beyond "Viva la ...", which is very much an "it'll get much worse before it gets better" kind of resolution.
