"Was there any way it could have gone right?"
Maybe not. But if the CEO or Wall Street bankers or whatever they should be called lived by ethical economic standards instead of using usury as their economic gold standard it may have been more sustainable and easier to for both sides to transition out of. On the other hand, they could be worse. Checks and balances can't stop an oligarchy forever. Considering the concentration of wealth, like around sixty people with more wealth than the bottom three billion, things could be a lot worse. OK not if your starving in Ethiopia or getting raped in a privatized prison but for a lot of us, considering what people are capable of, we're lucky it's not a lot worse.
