DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) - A four-year economic crisis has left societies battered and widened the gap between the haves and have-nots, financial leaders conceded Wednesday - with one suggesting that Western-style capitalism itself may be endangered.

As Europe struggles with its debt crisis and the global economic outlook remains gloomy at best, there's a sense at the heavily guarded World Economic Forum that free markets are on trial.

Many at the elite economic gathering in the Swiss Alps accept that more must be done to convince critics that Western capitalism has a future and that it can learn from its massive failures.

I'm certain they'll figure out some way to pronounce greed good and get on with stealing everything that isn't nailed down.

End crony capitalism. Stop governments propping up bad business. End regulation (at the very least against small business). Let the people decide what economic system they want to use.

Just ending subsides would save around $70bn a year, that'd be a fucking good start. How can anyone justify giving oil forms like Exxon and Halliburton $41bn a year is beyond me, especially how much they whine about giving subsidies to green energy firms.
