There is a wonderful little scene with the two main characters going on about what they've been doing for the last few years.

C : ''Posit : You believe a bank is financially shaky.''
M : ''Consequence : People begin to withdrawl their money & sooner or later it IS financially shaky..Perception becomes reality...''
C : Think Bigger.

M : Stock Markets?
C : Yes.
M : Currency Markets?
C : Yes
M : Small Countries?
C : Smiles & pauses.. u know u & I were going to change the world..
