I think the challenge is to see the economy from different scales. While the US national economy has some "immune system" kicking in, the global economy is balancing itself well (depending, I suppose, on where you live). And while the Colorado economy is always a victim of boom-and-bust, things here in Boulder hum to a different tune. In the end, I think the over-emphasis on profits at any price looks to be the end of the pendulum swing, and a more balanced trade-off between humanity and corporations looks to be on the horizon.

We've a organism - our economy - that can only handle so much disruption - even constructive disruption - at a time before it's 'immune system' kicks in. That appears to be the case here. But note that when an immune system responds to a threat that the host doesn't always enjoy or benefit from the result. Example: Arthritis.
