Everyone, google "Bhopal disaster: Nothing to do with capitalism"
Dow wasn't responsible for it, it was 100% the Indian government!
This is absolute BS. Google "glass steagall irrelevant" and read "Meltdown A Free market Look" etc

@cmommsen1 i was rather surprised to hear from my economics teacher how easy it is to explain how this situation arose. thats what they teach you in german schools^^. now, if only the solution were that simple aswell...

@cmommsen1 this law was passed in most countries after the great depression of 1929 and it did it's job pretty well (Glass-Steagall Act in the USA for example). unfortunately, some countries dropped those laws in order the enable banks to invest more (happened around 1999) and other countries had to drop those laws too so that their banks could stay competetive... thats how it happened: everybody forgot how terrible the great depression was and terminated their safeguard to make more money

@cmommsen1 well, i have never watched fox news because i live in germany... and of course this has to do with economics. it is the nature of capitalism that the financial sector grows into such a tumour if the goverments (notice the plural) dont restrict them properly... there was actually qutie an effective regulation on the financial market which divided investment and regular banks by law. this limited the amount of money investmentbanks could speculate with and of course protect the consumer

@gUgleSTINKT This has nothing to do with "economics". Stock market trading could not be further from a functional economic model if it were based on Pluto. Please don't be one of those brainwashed consumers who believes everything they see on Fox News.

@dbgameace No, after this interview, they came out and said this was a hoax and they were not going to do anything this Yes Man said they were going to do. That's the reason they lost 2 billion dollars.
