"The rampant speculation on the financial markets played a pivotal role in triggering the financial and economic crises that has dominated the world economy for the past five years. The brunt of these crises is being borne by ordinary working class people in Europe and across the world. Large sections of the financial sector have been "nationalised" as a means to turn private debt into public debt with the imposition of brutal austerity as a result. I am in favour of strong regulations that put speculators in the financial markets on a chain; rules on insider trading and market manipulation are certainly an important aspect of this. However, this is not enough. It is essential that there fundamentally change, not more cosmetic change, in the way the financial markets operate. This regulation still allows the covering up of information in order to preserve the 'stability of the financial system' and deemed to be what bankers and politicians consider the public interest. It would be in the public interest if the financial institutions and markets were to be nationalised and put under democratic control of working class people to guarantee full oversight and transparency and to redevelop the economy."@en1
