Anti-Depressants for the Global Economy ?
The massive stock market crash of the 1930's and the consequent human suffering can't happen again, can it ? I am quite disgusted at the ways in which the US economy, allegedly the driver of the world economic system, has caused such an enormous travesty of global financial security. That the stock markets fall and rise on such whimsy and the insecurity of human psychological imperatives is shocking; that people who are not directly connected to the profit margins of companies, CEO's and stockbrokers must suffer for their greed is utterly horrifying.


Is capitalism suffering the death throes of a system caught in the terminal velocity of it's own gravitational mass ? Is this particular crisis the one from which capitalism can not escape the gravity of it's own collapsing stellar engines ? Hardly, but if there is not some genuine and well thought out restructuring of the global financial system this sort of crisis can be assumed to be a reoccurring phenomena. In a world already so insecure with terrorism and war, with global environmental catastrophe looming large in the not-so-distant future - can we really afford to build our financial systems on such unstable grounds as we have so far done ?
Hey - Wall Street, the party is over.
