Good info, someone also mentioned a site Canada-debt-consolidation.ca Canadian's and having debt problems, with just 1 phone call can eliminate your debt by up to 60%, it's true, see for yourself.
Taleb's point (7:00) about economists having been so blind to a looming crisis is just NOT true: there were PLENTY of American economists decrying Bush's insanely lopsided economic policies and overhauls ever since he was proposing them when he ran for prez in 2000! Even The Onion pointed it out! Furthermore, "black swan" has become a new buzzword in intellectual discourse, but the concept of massively disruptive events shaping history is HARDLY new. Taleb is an uninspiring, long-winded buffoon.
Also, Ian Bremmer quotes a Chinese official saying (at 26:55) saying that the Western economic model has "failed." That's classic.
What he is ACTUALLY referring to is the failure of the neo-conservative/Bush economic model. America is still remaining VERY much a capitalist economy, regardless of all the hopes and fears expressed by extremist loudmouths on both the right and the left in the US media.
