I was browsing the web today and came across this article by Simon Johnson, the former Chief Economist at the International Monetary Fund. In the article he goes into the rise of the “Banking Oligarchy” in the United States how, in his opinion, it lead to the current economic crisis, and how the members of this Oligarchy are hampering the recovery process.
I’m not sure if I buy everything he says 100%, but it is definitely a good read from a unique point of view.
