Why is there not an economist at this table? Financial instruments that encouraged the lending of untold billions in 'easy' money to companies and individuals, did not do anybody any favors as one of the CEOs suggested. The easy credit of the past decade has fueled a consumption binge on household and other non-durable goods, so we have no hope of gaining value from our loans. One should never borrow for consumption, only for further investment in productive enterprise...(a house is a place to live, not a productive enterprise).

Jack Welch is the ONLY person on this panel with any experience in running a real business. As a result, his view is the only relevant one. The idiot Moriel is the polar opposite of reason and good judgement on topics related to the economy and what role government should have. Capitalism is proven superior to any other philosophy on the planet. Misery and suffering throughout the world are the result of an unequal distribution of capitalism. Now that we have a socialist moron in the white house, the United States of America will be plunged toward misery and suffering. Why do we have to repeat the experiment of other countries who tried socialism and found it fails at every turn? The Euroweenies and the rest of the world are turning away from this insanity, while we are plunging into a repeat of this failed model of governance. Insanity: defined as repetition of a failed experiment hoping for a different result!

Capitalism as we've "know it" is over and this panel takes the old approach to trying to deal with never before seen issues. Real unemployment as I write this is on par with the Great Depression on a "per capita basis" and I'm not the only one saying this. It's a mistake to have super huge "too big to fail" companies anymore. Local and regional government, business and financial services is the solution that works and has "insulated" many areas of the US from financial ruin. It's estimated that 5% of the worlds population controls over 80% of the wealth in the world and most of this panel argued for continuing that, but just having "governance" in place? Governance was in place already! Where is "character" and "integrity" of individuals that continue to have a "sense of entitlement" and "greed" on their minds. I do not want this panel determining what the "new capitalism" is going to look like for me.

I see the reviews and see what others have to say...and my apologies...for I dont know much to speak convincingly on this topic...but I really liked this episode...and I believe that Capitalism has more advantages than disadvantages...and it will continue to be the way to growth...for everyone in US and elsewhere...but with some changes...for sure.
What I liked about this episode....simply the bringing of such great respected businessmen....together on one table...now whether we want to accept everything they said...or not is upto each individual.Thanks...The CNBC originals series is awesome!!!

Marc Morial has no value in any of theses topics, i like Jack Welch he was the Chair, CEO of GE with such large growth, and his comments are worth something. Lazarus was good, i liked her points. Citi CEO maybe he should have been a bit more quiet/modest.this is my first post i could not stand Marc Morial he is worth nothing in business go back to the NUL.
the music beat was a bit fast, drama.
