It is interesting when looking at "systems" and determining if those "systems" are flawed when those "systems" have built in self correcting mechanisms. I guess if it is possible to have a perfect "system" that is not impacted by conditions that can create imbalance, then a "system" short of that can certainly be called flawed. However, a "system" that self corrects for imbalances could be a pretty efficient "system". I think our economic system is self correcting and those who try to micromanage it actually do more harm than good.
