There is no code for the global financial system and no coder is going to fix it.

How about simulations of various economic/financial/social systems? Those are being done, and require code, and require high-level analysis. I find it perfectly believable that some abstract theoretical computer science / computer simulation work could uncover new insights / new arguments.

(that being said, I agree with asr's comment)

They also fail pretty badly and are remarkable useless at the moment.
