“My ability to keep cool in a crisis is based entirely on not knowing all the facts”.

Marx was right
On Nov. 28, 2005, I published a guest editorial in Barron’s weekly, saying that “Marx was Right”. I believe you might find it relevant today:
In today’s global markets, America and the world are on shaky ground – literally. 
Geologists explain the earth’s outer shell rests on 15 rigid plates that move slowly but surely, at the speed fingernails grow. At the fault lines where they meet and collide – for instance, the Indian and Eurasian plates – disastrous earthquakes can occur, like the recent one in Kashmir.
Global markets are like tectonic plates. They shift and clash. Crises erupt suddenly. Economists, like geologists, ring general alarm bells but cannot say precisely when the next global ‘earthquake’ will occur. Unlike geologists, economists cannot even say where.

Listen, world
First responses as collected from the participants (you are all invited to add your own):
Amit Mayer (SIT): “In the kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is king”
Meir Porat (STI): “We need to join together in order to find a solution. To overcome the crisis, we need to constantly think together with innovation fascilitators”.
Nurit Cohen (SIT): “There is a lot we don’t know, and much more we don’t know about where to obtain the information we don’t know”.
