The media has the ability to explain what is happening, it always has. Each medium -- newspapers, radio, TV, etc. -- are all capable of hosting cogent discussions. Unfortunately, the ways in which public discourse as evolved over time has drastically diminished the demand to engage at anything more than an infantile level.
What we have today is all headlines and little in depth investigation.
This begs the question: was there ever much in the way of "in depth investigation"?
Given what is suggested above, the idea that nobody saw the next thing coming, I would suggest the answer is no. I would also suggest that any understanding of what happened is always backward looking... when it happens at all. As such, we will continue to muddle through with very little in the way of a "road map" just as we always have.
