Uneven, stratified, exclusionary economic development, accompanied by economic flatlining? Yep — for just one example, see then-Secretary of the Treasury Hank Paulson tipping off his hedge fund buddies about Fannie and Freddie. Sounds familiar. Mounting demographic pressures, including slum creation? Just tour Baltimore.

This was apparent in the role the big investment banks played in bringing on the 2007/2008 financial crisis: were they advisers? hedge funds? scam artists? The answer: a mix of all five.

I know firsthand how challenging it can be to take a holistic approach, especially when your organization is in crisis. Unprofitable, but still promising, product lines were cut, timber stocks were reduced to a bare minimum, employee numbers were razored, and long-term development activities were curtailed.

First, it is hard to see the historical development of US income taxation as a gradual evolution. In times of crisis, America has shown that it asks the super-rich to pay a lot more than the rich and I think this will happen based on the feeling that it is a time of economic crisis in America.
