Why is the economic crisis spoken about as if it was a phenomenon like El Nino or the Boxing Day Tsunami? There is a reason the Worlds economy is in the poo, and it has nothing to do with an 'Act of God'.
We are being conditioned to believe that greed and incompetence were but bit players and that, like the weather, there was nothing that could have reasonably have been done to foresee this. If companies are paying outrageous salary packages to get the 'best', then surely the 'best' should have seen this coming and planned accordingly.
