And quite astute.

I imagine the 'Blow-out' of the markets and, subsequently, the banks would have resulted in a mid-eighties economic situation where corporations were solidifying their grasp on certain legislative loopholes and acquiring a little direct help from the govenment.
Some of what made conditions viable for the purposes of maintaining a nice profit-to-debt dynamic are still merely artifacts of legislative ponderance which has not been sorted out. (I'll see what neat stuff I can find and post.)
It is my hope that all the harping on 'corporate accountability' is a precursor to some REAL modifications.

But alas, that is sadly but a hope....
