There goes civilisation...

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.

I'm not so sure that is actually true.

Most places operate as brokers, spending money on exchange connections and on technology to make their ability to trade on behalf of their clients more efficient/timely.

The clients are a lot of the time pension funds and the like. Governments, teachers associations, museums etc.

Sorry to put less of a city boys are coked up cunts spin on it. Normal service will resume.
