Some industries just *need* to be regulated (more)

Barry Ritholz sez - Most of the World Wants More Bank Regulation:

That is what survey after survey around the globe shows that the world’s populations wants. Despite a relentless propaganda campaign of misinformation, fabricated data and false narratives, the public has not been fooled by the 1%. The best efforts of a well funded group of ideologues — Free Market absolutists, anti-Democracy and Randians — these pro-corporate radicals has not yet succeeded in fooling all of the world’s population all of the time.

One major caveat: I would imagine the major events of the past few years probably has people thinking of disasters in specific industries: Banking, Energy Exploration and Nuclear Power. If the questions were asked about those specific industries, I believe the response for more regs would be much higher. And if the question was asked, “outside of banking, deep water oil drilling and nuclear plants” I assume we would get lower numbers.

A particularly relevant point - Imagine the entertainment if Nuclear Power wasn't regulated at all Energy Exploration - the disaster in the Niger Delta, Banking - you need to ask?)
