Our pal Bernard, as well as the very wonderful Mother and Doctor from the Bangalore Film Society, have insisted that I read Matt Taibbi’s Rolling Stone story on Goldman Sachs, and here, a little late, but on a warm night when I’ve written too much already, is a link. The story starts…
“The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it's everywhere. The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money. In fact, the history of the recent financial crisis, which doubles as a history of the rapid decline and fall of the suddenly swindled dry American empire, reads like a Who's Who of Goldman Sachs graduates.”
And then continues at length in the same vein and with horrific detail. Click here.

I wonder if anyone here has ever read Vickers (by the anarchist himself)...but I guess before too long it'll be old news anyway...just interesting to see it all actually happening?
