Default "Redirect the markets so that they serve the people, and not ruin them"

I came to realize that if you remove the ability of money to be exchanged for goods, economy would be a videogame. Not all people like videogames. And we have a videogame where only the best players get the best of that game, while half of humanity lives in misery for not being able to play. We have a third world planet.

I found this interesting quote...

Quote:
"[We must] redirect the markets so that they serve the people, and not ruin them" - Angela Merkel, German Chancellor.

Any comments?
