nobody has a clear answer, it's a complex problem. i personally don't either. people in power need to run many, many experiments in parallel, and propagate what works. it's already too late so they should start yesterday... pick a few hundred ideas, hire some good statisticians. run experiments for 2-3-4 years, then spread the good stuff and test a new batch of ideas. i don't think that will happen though. so we got to prepare for the crash as best as we can. the economy being not so good is certainly a part of the problem, but if we're going to over-focus on that we are pretty much doomed.
