Most nations are furiously overprinting fiat currencies which generates greater than 10% inflation. The media has diverted away from this in claiming that "declining oil prices" are responsible as in the case of venezuela. They do not want the general public to be be aware of how overprinting fiat contributes towards high inflation which in turn promotes economic dysfunction and ultimately: failure.
Rather than economies being structured around sound economic principle or good policy, most are structured around high risk/high debt profit models which contribute towards low stability. Regulators are typically bought out and look the other way on key issues. There aren't many reliable or moral individuals in positions of influence or authority willing to be whistleblowers or raise awareness on important topics. The way society is structured there is no benefit given to raising awareness on topics that are really important, while there is a plethora of negative sentiment typically directed @ people who engage in this practice. And so virtually no one bothers to do it.
