    Actually, the same logic would be applicable to prevent any future financial collapses. One of the problems we faced recently is that the institutions that went under had a disproportionate effect on the certain aspects of the economy. Bailouts are not a viable option, but the government could protect its citizens by ensuring the collapse of any one company does not lead to a domino effect.

    As much as I would like to see this, I think it is better to let the free market operate. It might be better to instead ensure high standards, and ensure that the ones who graduate are highly qualified. Highly qualified people will lead to high salaries and high salaries will attract the best, whether women, men, nationals or foreigners.
