I think we should take a hard look at trading certain 'commodities' that should have regulated pricing instead of going to the person with the most money. There may be shortages, but you won't see the rich investors being able to make money off the basic needs of the population.
The question I think you should ask is if it is the end of unfair globalization? There was only so long that we could continue to export the basic jobs overseas before you get a large amount of people not working (and not counted in unemployment numbers), and don't have the money to buy up houses and cars among other things. While the other countries economies start improving and they are able to buy oil and raw materials to buy products made by their own factories.
But there are certain industries that should have some more government oversight and be somewhat regulated and taxed correctly. It will be interesting to see what kind of changes happen in the next few years.
