Capitalism requires businesses and individuals be held accountable
for the consequences of their actions. Accountability is a key ingredient for maintaining public faith in the economic system. The perception—and the reality—is that virtually nobody has been punished or held accountable for their roles in the financial crisis.
I almost agree with this. Unfortunately, though, some people have been punished for their roles in the financial crisis. It's just on the whole they weren't the financiers.
