A SYSTEM RUN AMOK
One year after the onset of the credit crisis, it has become more clear than ever that the financial system has run amok. The crisis has revealed how bankers have too often taken massive bets – normally with other people’s money – without paying adequate attention to the risks. When trouble hit, the regulators have rushed to the rescue, cutting interest rates and bailing out banks. Ordinary savers have lost out, taxpayers may end up footing the bill and the evil of inflation has been allowed to seep back into the global economy.
