I would contend that this is a function of our industrial, economic and cultural models, models we seem to go to extraordinary lengths to prop up despite their being shown to be desperately flawed and prone to periodic potentially catastrophic crises.

Vested interests and fear will always tend towards maintaining a model that endorses and rewards this situation so, sadly, whilst I agree entirely Harold, I believe that the model organisations those reading your blog hope we can move to wards will continue to be the exception rather than the rule.
