Gurcharan Das: Relax, capitalism is not the problem
The epic, Mahabharata, thinks that human beings are fundamentally flawed and their faults make the world “uneven” (vishama). As a result, they are vulnerable to nasty surprises. Duryodhana is the chief purveyor of “uneveness” in the epic, but the others also contribute to it in good measure — Yudhishthira cannot resist gambling; Karna suffers from status anxiety; Ashwatthama has a revengeful nature; Dhritarashtra is prone to excessive love for his eldest son and so on. These human defects drive the epic towards calamity. Like the Mahabharata’s characters, investment bankers on Wall Street, rating agencies and even regulators suffer from similar failings, and it is these dangerous infirmities that brought the global capitalist system to its knees in 2008.
