There might be more awareness if, rather than the mainstream [people and news] narrative of "Oh no, some giant event is building and about to happen!", these financial schemes and their socialised downfalls were primarily, rightly labelled as simply the latest in a clearly repeating pattern of behaviour that we as a species are enabling.
I'm finding it almost hard to feel much angst about this cycle, not due to a lack of compassion, but because of the learned reality that if I spend all my energy on today's Big Finance misadventure, well it seems there'll be another tomorrow anyway...
