"In engineering, it is customary to design critical parts several times in complex systems, so that the overall system continues to function, even if some parts fail. At the neuralgic point of the world economic system, namely the financial system, this is not happening yet, "said Frank Jansky on.
Because of the networking and the serious conceptual error in the global financial and economic system which erupted due to oversized speculation chain reaction has become uncontrollable.
