Because if we can be sure of something, it is that this crisis has set a new tone, a new deal, and maybe for the first time each and everyone of us can really understand what the old buzzword "globalization" really means: the financial world is like dominos.
Now, it is also true too that, as new powers are emerging, they will have the choice to stay somewhat on the fringes of this system. How will China manage their cash reserve and deal with their own internal problems (poverty level, air and water pollution, acess to healthcare to name a few)? Will Turkey become the new regional leader of the Middle-East, and turn its back on Europe?
These are just 2 topics that I'm interested in, but of course there is so much going on, and so much at stake that my head seem to implode each time I try to make sense of anything.
Inside Job is definitely a great way to start with the financial crisis, from its roots to its consequences.
