Just financial literacy doesn’t work, need accountability

............Today, the world is abuzz with the need for financial literacy. But can financial literacy deliver on its own? Not if it’s used as a filter to let faulty products and wrong advice pass through. There is so much information arbitrage in the financial market that to hang financial well-being on financial literacy is wide off the mark. It would also not be fair to expect investors to know the innards of a complex financial product, be adept at crunching numbers, and remember all the fine print, all in the name of financial literacy...........
