CAPITALISM IS NOT THE PATH
From a purely mundane perspective, the following linked article is one of the best, if not the best, I've seen to date:
BEHIND THE PANIC: Financial Warfare over future of global bank power

Beyond that article, here's some more useful information for you.
You need to study the impetuses behind the laws and the results of overturning those laws.
The U.S. is a capitalist nation; therefore, you will often read exposés that go beyond apologizing for excess to excusing and even lionizing it. The rich pay for the writing of history that reflects best upon them. The Wikipedia is a prime example where the rich pay editors to tweak articles in their favor, to downplay the greed and supported violence and oppression.
First they will steal. Then they will give some back for good PR (Public Relations) that only results in greater personal profits and gets those who expose them for righteousness' sake (and for other reasons too) off their backs somewhat and so to speak.
Jesus does not teach capitalism. Doing the commandments of Jesus negates capitalism. All are family. Good family members don't make a capitalistic profit off their fellow family members. The good family gives and shares all together. The good father does not hold out his hand for mammon or recompense when his children come to his table to eat. It's that simple. If everyone serves, as Jesus teaches, all are thereby served. The bottom rises, unlike what happens in the self-centered, competitive system known as capitalism.
Yes, family can help each other by employing each other's capitalistic businesses. That though would not be in the mix were it not for the problem that the whole system is founded on the false premise of greed to begin with. The family in this case is simply helping fellow family negotiate within the evil system that has ensnared all until they break free into real Christianity such as via the Christian Commons Project™.
