I find it extraordinary that this purpose which drove how we viewed the world is now considered to be something that has no effect upon us.

Why are we in this mess, now facing the prospect of economic armageddon? It's because the prevailing characteristic has been greed, and it doesn't matter whether it's individuals living beyond their means or governments living beyond their means or people seeking to get rich quick.

My generation have had it good, and I am really troubled by what we have done with it.
