And somehow [Donald] Trump, who represents the worst aspects of capitalism, has persuaded people he can deal with that.

• The financial crisis has underscored how insufficient attention to fundamental corporate governance concepts can have devastating effects on an institution and its continued viability. It is clear that many banks did not fully implement these fundamental concepts.

• In 2012, the far-right Golden Dawn won 21 seats in Greece's parliamentary election, the right-wing Jobbik gained ground in my native Hungary, and the National Front's Marine Le Pen received strong backing in France's presidential election.

I think that I am the luckiest person in Australia.

It suggests that the historical period defined by postmodernism is coming to an end, symbolised by global financial crises.
