i think it's called hypercapitalism.
and i think we (as in, the majority, the median income, non-spooner, hard-working populace) are reaping the whirlwind of an under-regulated, financially gluttonous, elitist ten year bunfight.
funny how those "the city makes shitloads of money and it's good for the UK because of that" arguments looker weaker than an anorexic biafran in the cold light of day, now some poor americans pissed their mortgage payments up the wall and managed to bring down merril lynch and lehmans.
wealth creation - the sole raison d'etre of the city - is so utterly, sinfully specious. it's just a shame that everyone else cops it. some city boy crying into his empty bonus packet? fuck it, get a conscience, then a real job.
