I am not aware that anyone has named the major causes of the current financial crisis that has our world in turmoil. Greed and lack of accountability are the causes as I see it. We will get past this. Until we do something about the causes however, trouble will come again as surely as night follows day.

Further none of the people who have acted with gay abandon and just plain stupidity have been held to account. Lets us hope that French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s words are adhered to; “Let us build together a regulated capitalism in which whole swathes of financial activity are not left to the sole judgement of market operators” He called for a new system in “which those who jeopardise people’s savings are punished.” (The Strait Times 24/9/08)

In an article for Harvard Business Review ‘Strategy as Revolution’ Volume 74, Issue 4, July-August 1996, page 69, Gary Hamel says each industry consists of three kinds of people; “Rule Makers (Industry leaders), Rule Takers (peasants who only keep what the Lord does not want), and Rule Breakers (revolutionaries who overturn the ‘curse of incrementalism’, rewrite industry rules, and overthrow industry boundaries).

Rule Breakers are the builders of our new world. Are you one of them?
