Structural Economic Recovery

To whom it may concern,

The financial crisis is an opportunity to not only shift into a green economy, but alter the structure of economics itself. When a bank or company is too big to collapse, that is a failure of capitalistic competition. For the past 30 years, our debt and GDP have been diverging, essentially creating no real growth. Our manufacturing base shifted to building suburbs and consumption. Will we use this recession to change our systems of growth, or only try to save them?
