If you haven't already done so, I recommend reading The Big Short (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Short) and watching Inside Job (linked below).

I've currently just begun reading "It's the Economy Dummkopf!" an article by Michael Lewis for Vanity Fair. (http://www.vanityfair.com/business/features/2011/09/europe-201109)

[Edit] Finished it. Hmm. His writing for Vanity Fair is a little different from his writing in The Big Short.

Warren Buffett has some worthy suggestions, too. (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/15/opinion/stop-coddling-the-super-rich.html?_r=2&hp)
