Fortunately, the most substantive presentation (by Yvan Allaire) comes first after the introduction. He also makes the concluding statement at 1:16:00.

29:14 OhPlease, How preposterous blaming the individual when the mortgage application is fraudulent to begin with,deceptive & criminal, no one here wants to get to the root cause of all economic failure ,indeed they only look at symptoms avoiding the obvious as it is all your local banks that fraudulently launder/steal any economic monetary circulation via peoples loan repayments by keeping principal rather than retiring it & then charging terminal interest thats never created in the beginning.

Why do humans believe that values are something that can be regulated ?

How is it that human nature can be modified to promote well being for all when capitalism is the propensity to benefit one self ?

It is all spin; hot air and nativity. Humans will be human and Utopia is

never going to prevail and just watch this space for ethical regulation Not. !!

Discovered in 2003:

The underlying law of nature may be the world's most useful, profitable and encouraging knowledge.

e.g., The ULN is the most effective and efficient means to improve the performance of any process.

Great personal, economic and societal advantages exist to identifying the underlying law of nature first hand, for oneself, then understanding its principles and, finally, applying it.

Bing or Google it as a start.

So it is back to basics. People with bad charactor will implement bad politics and bad buisness practices. People with a very good value system will enhance the industry they are in. The bottom line is where the people learn good values? In most cases values are learned in the home but in these current times the family unit and its value system based on spiritual growth is under attack.

5:13 Stewardship was the responsibility given to household servants to bring food and drinks to a castle dining hall, also used in a more general way to refer to a responsibility to take care of something owned by someone else. It is also doing something willingly without getting paid.
