We Live In Interesting Times

Interesting times indeed. The past week has seen the economic crisis deepen dramatically. Things are happening at an accelerating pace and who knows what the next couple of weeks will bring. Some of us have maintained for years that running the world economy like a bookies was bound to end in tears before bed time but no matter. We need to raise the game a bit. Extend the rhetoric beyond "I told you so". People are worried about their savings, their homes and their jobs. How will they respond to this? That is the critical question. Will the crisis bring people together or force them to retreat into the isolation of the family? 

From this mess we can build something better. I know we can.
