Fear of Finance

Distrust of highly paid people who work behind computer screens doing something that doesn’t look like productive work is everywhere. But important things are created in our modern financial system, both positive and negative.

Fear of finance is on the march. Distrust of highly paid people who work behind computer screens doing something that doesn’t look like productive work is everywhere. Paper shufflers are doing better than producers; speculators are doing better than managers; traders are doing better than entrepreneurs; arbitrageurs are doing better than accumulators; the clever are doing better than the solid; and behind all of it, the financial market is more powerful than the state.
