Robber barons redux

Friday, 17th July 2009

Stung by those latest profit figures, Foreign Policy's David Rothkopf launches another broadside against Goldman Sachs:

I've asked this before and I will ask it again: Where is the outrage? I'm a dyed-in-the-wool capitalist. I love free markets. I hope a free market marries one of my daughters some day. But if some people have too many advantages and others simply can never catch up, the markets aren't free, regardless of law or intent...These ultra-citizens -- Goldman is one, think of Exxon registering record profits while the country squirmed in the midst of an energy crisis...are operating apart from  and above our system, using it for their benefit, putting people at risk, exacerbating inequality.
More verbal bombs are being manufactured over at Goldman Sachs666.com.
