Hi,
I would say there is more than enough blame to go around than just
saying its Wall Street. I probably differ than most views here,
but in my book, its really greed based. That applies to all of us,
consumers, the
high ups on Wall Street, the get all the money they can CEO's, those in
*Congress* who pushed to change the laws to lower the standards for
making loans to people who could not afford them (names dropped), and
those who buy houses on interest only loans only to flip them in 2
years, etc. The sad part is that as Americans - we don't save anymore,
we just spend and spend. How many of us know people who carry a
balance of 5K or more on their credit card? Probably more than we care
to admit. Those of us
who design for a living are in it too. We want people to buy/use the
products we work hard to create. Maybe we all need to take a hard
look at where its taking us, and try to do more with less. Could it
save the world? No, I don't think so.
just my views...

Could good design save the world? Some basic design principles not only
apply well to products and services, but also to policy!
