Deep in your heart, deep in your gut, you know that there is something wrong but you do not know exact what and as a single individual what you can be about this? Seven years after The Sarbanes Oxley Act in the US we finally have a customer centered business model.
Get ready for a total upheaval in consumer buying, consumer purchases that produces automatic savings caused by a new customer centered corporation owned by the customers.

The Deregulationists would like to sabotage transparency and accountability in any size business, and particularly for small businessmen like Bernie Madoff can pull off their flim flam without any oversight. Creating imaginary speculative bubbles is not entrepreneurial innovation and if anything our economy needs the transparency of SOX even more so now to let investors analyze the feasibility of real innovation with real information - not just creative accounting.
Credit to the volume of Thomas Friedman's ideas that at least some are bound to be good, but expanding on his worst ideas reflects an immaturity that chooses to ignore the currents issues facing the country. At this point in time its obvious we need more regulation to clean up the mess we are currently in, not less.
More telling is what you choose to ignore - Friedman endorses providing healthcare for everyone. Reforming US healthcare is newsworthy, timely and real innovation that will benefit small businesses(and large corporations too).
