President Hinckley, in October 1998, predicted almost precisely what was going to happen with the economy between then and now. I'll bet there's a lot of families crowded into rented apartments, receiving government and church assistance, and with bankruptcies on their credit report now, who wish they had given heed to his warnings and counsel back then.
... she said that she was ready to drive up to Salt Lake City and confront ... Church leaders ... while well armed. The idea was ... dropped ... [because] she didn't have a 12 gauge with her.

He said that due to the unregulated trading of derivatives the economy would crash in 10 years?

In the section marked for Mission Presidents, on page 102 of Preach My Gospel,
we read, "As appropriate, relate to missionaries how you receive revelation on transfers."
baptismal numbers are down, I need more baptisms, Elder Doe and Bloggs work well together, I will pair them up.
Or the Area Sales Manager needs to sell more Double glazing. Sales Rep Jones and Sales Rep Brown are topnotch at selling things that people don't really want,
I will pair them up to increase our area sales.
What is the difference? Both the MP and Area Sales Manager have a good idea that so and so will do a good job and that is the decision they make.
Revelation is surely just one person having a good idea. The fact that someone claiming to have a specific priesthood role, makes a decision and acts upon it, it's just that, something that is decided upon, dressed up in sacred terminology
we call it continuing revelation.
My Garbage can is full. Revelation!! Empty it.

We shall not cease from exploration
and the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
and know the place for the first time.
