Op/Ed: Lessons of the 1970's International Credit Crisis:
In conclusion, the current banking system and the banking system of the 1970's would have collapsed without the intervention of global authorities. What this tells us is that the banks have never considered themselves responsible for the soundness of the system; it has been the job of the central banks to prevent shortages and excesses.

Op/Ed: What the Bailout (Assistance) Really Means:
Well, it is official. Whether we like it or not, we as a nation are locked into bailout (assistance, really) for Wall Street. But will the average man in the street (what every TV pundit and talk show host refers to as Main Street) really be ok with the passing of this assistance package?

Our financial system is a very complex interweaving of Wall Street and Main Street, both locally and globally. However, there are components of this quagmire (which is what it really is) that is our financial system that should be explained to and understood by the public so that one can understand not only why this assistance package is needed (House and Senate representatives you may want to sit in on this tutorial, as it may save you more embarrassment in the future) -- but why it is needed now.
