I'm curious about what type of order you would like to see....
What order I would like to see ?
How about one in which financial health is directly linked to industrial production. Where financial assets are linked with real tangibile things.
One where the risk of doing a bad operation is 100% taken by the financial istitution. Private profits ? Ok. Private loses also.
One order where self regulating markets are thrown out the window as experience has demostrated they don't work.
Just for starters, and this doesn't mean a communist or socialist state driven economy.
The faster americans learn this reality the better we're all going to be.
