 In response to the ongoing financial crisis, world leaders are planning "a new Bretton Woods," according to Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. According to an October 10th article by Steve Schere on the business and financial news website Bloomberg.com:
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said political leaders are discussing the idea of closing the world's financial markets while they "rewrite the rules of international finance.''

 After President George W. Bush asked guests at a Republican fundraiser to turn off their cameras — which at least one person failed to do — he proceeded to blame Wall Street for the current financial and housing troubles: “Wall Street got drunk.... It got drunk and now it’s got a hangover. The question is how long will it [take to] sober up. And then we have the housing issue.”
