I would close Wall Street for good. Money is not wealth. Fictitious assets will, by their very nature, destabilize any economic system. Predatory lending/deceptive lending is the single most unethical business practice in human history. And credit cards. Jesus Christ, credit cards cannot substitute for a living wage. Financial assets coming out of thin air is insane, and yet it's the economic foundation for our economy (at least as long as I've been alive).
I don't know where the idea of "if we each pursue our individual financial benefit that we'll see the benefit for society as a whole" came from, but it's bullshit and the longer our system is based on this 'principle', the deeper into the debt industrial complex we'll fall. The bottom line is that the economy should be built around what's been recently referred to as "Main Street" and Wall Street should be forever destroyed.
