I don't want our country controlled by bankers and hedge run mavens. I must be a marxist, right? Apparently, I'm not alone.

"As I argue in the book, the finance sector is too large. Obviously it serves a function, but traditionally in the US, I think it ran 3 percent of GDP or below, probably the same in the UK, and in both of those countries, the financial sector is now more than three times that level. And as the finance sector rises, I think it becomes a bit of an incubus on the rest of society. It ceases to provide a benign function. Or better, it does continue to provide a benign function, but there are malignant effects from a bloated financial system.

I think that the financial engineering of the last thirty years or more has been pushed, and that’s pushed further and further by the very low interest. And that’s why you find people of the market-oriented persuasion like me coming to quite similar conclusions to the typical Marxist critics of Wall Street."
