Who is Accountable for the Global Recession?

I have been following and researching the wall street crash and subsequent economic recession for the last 18 months. Having read such interesting books as Too Big to Fail by Andrew Ross Sorkin and Freefall by Joseph Stiglitz has shattered any delusions I have had about how financial systems and institutions truly operate. Large organisations such as Goldman Sachs seem to have zero ethical boundaries as to conducting business, rather focusing on how much money they can make at any cost. As the reasons and responsibilites behind this massive global recession become more apparent, it will be interesting to see where the blame is placed and which organisatiosn and individuals are left accountable. This article by Matt Taibbi from Rolling Stone reasons that it is the leaders behind the megalithic financial institutions who should be brought to justice. Definitely worth a read: The People vs. Goldman Sachs
