It works if it doesn't come because of some Major Fvck ups and bad policy.
They come because as you said it is a natural system within our economy's.
But i hardly think it's fair to downplay this recession which has been labeled the worst since the great depression.

Mass, I hate mass.

I'm looking forward to my $950 .

I was just forced to read a paper that tried to blame capitalism for things that happened 1500 years before Adam Smith's birth

capitalism is like some boogey-man "theory of everything"

Ideas can exist long before they have names you know. People didn't suddenly spring into being when we decided to call ourselves human.

agreed, though in the case of the article, it would be akin to calling crusaders "Nazi's", simply because some comparisons could be drawn.

The reason people ignored the Australian economic model is that it didn't produce the results when the going was good that the US model did. Plain and simple greed has driven the problem further still...individual investors taking huge gambles with huge risks for short term rewards i.e bonuses...they had no eye on the long term because they were making vast sums in the short term.

Banks further compounded the problem by giving money to people they knew fine well couldn't pay and then selling the debt on to other banks.

and their lobbying practices essentially assured them that the government would bail them out in the case of a bad gamble.

Finally a decent response.
I guess it makes seance but the thing with that is, if people are left to there own devices they think only of themselves.
Their should be a government body able to hold those people responsible better than the SCS, those guys are a bunch of monkeys.
