I find myself returning to George Orwell’s essays on social responsibility at this time with a feeling of ‘The more things change the more they stay the same.’ Perhaps it is time to simply stop bailing out banks and let it fall.
The only way change can ever occur is by embracing the risk and disorder it brings, and we can never know what lies beyond the next moment, even the expert guessers they bring onto news programmes know nothing about what might come, remember they are people employed to look certain when they have less of a clue than we do. Please ask yourself - besides money, what have these people got? Very little it seems.

Add to that the fact that for the last few decades we've been hearing far too much about people's rights and a lot less about people's responsibilities. Funnily enough, it was Marx who observed that Capitalism will dig its own grave.
