What price the new democracy? Goldman Sachs conquers Europe - Business Analysis & Features - Business - The Independent

The ascension of Mario Monti to the Italian prime ministership is remarkable for more reasons than it is possible to count. By replacing the scandal-surfing Silvio Berlusconi, Italy has dislodged the undislodgeable. By imposing rule by unelected technocrats, it has suspended the normal rules of democracy, and maybe democracy itself. And by putting a senior adviser at Goldman Sachs in charge of a Western nation, it has taken to new heights the political power of an investment bank that you might have thought was prohibitively politically toxic.

This is the most remarkable thing of all: a giant leap forward for, or perhaps even the successful culmination of, the Goldman Sachs Project.

It is not just Mr Monti. The European Central Bank, another crucial player in the sovereign debt drama, is under ex-Goldman management, and the investment bank’s alumni hold sway in the corridors of power in almost every European nation, as they have done in the US throughout the financial crisis.

I merely co-facilitate the soapbox and do some technical support, so everybody that chooses to, can bestow riches.

By all means. I run a soapbox operation. If you have an article or post that you wish to spread, one of the planks of the soapbox (big enough to stand on) is here: http://12160.info/group/openough

Does not feel good. Need a break.

Looks like I have a lot of research to do, and little time to do it in. :(

That's a strange marriage. I think their children will not be considered Jewish by their own law? And he is said to be a "proud Jew"? Very odd ... I think you're right. Maybe something else behind this marriage.
