I think what should be done in the future is whenever two companies want to merge, or whenever a company wants to buy another, the only question that should be asked is: Can we afford to let this new company to go down, or will it be too big to be let down.

I don't think capitalism or the free market has failed. Entrepreneurship was replaced with greed, taking calculated risks with being irresponsible and self-determination with selfishness. That's what went wrong in the last decade(s).

The system itself wasn't the problem, if but we need to remember that "trees don't grow to the sky" as a German saying goes.
