Think again. Is this really a crisis? Or more a cleanup from a mess previously created? Sure, lots is going in the financial markets. We’re shifting grounds somewhat, but who says at the end of the day American Capitalism will be non-existent? In my opinion, stop the gross exaggeration and look again. For instance, see the below graph, this is not the first crisis we are facing.

Isn’t the current crisis a great example of how humankind tries to hold on and has trouble dealing with change? America can’t face to see its institutions slide off so it has the Fed step in to take over these institutions. The world is speaking to us and saying everything is in constant change. These past few weeks the financial markets have only accelerated their normal pace and shown what is at work constantly, change. No institutions remains the same, no stock price is on a continous bullish rally. Those who have realized this have not been the turkey and eaten for Thanksgiving or I-don’t-know-how-many-trillion bailout day, but have sat back and watched it all unfold. Let’s not be surprised that we do not control the world by a spreadsheet, but let’s take advantage of it.
