"In a recent study Martin Barnes of BCA Research, a Canadian economic-research firm, traces the rise of the American financial-services industry's share of total corporate profits, from 10% in the early 1980s to 40% at its peak last year (see chart 1). Its share of stockmarket value grew from 6% to 19%. These proportions look all the more striking—even unsustainable—when you note that financial services account for only 15% of corporate America's gross value added and a mere 5% of private-sector jobs."
Uma passagem muito certeira que resume bem a falta de rigor em que vive a industria financeira:
"The industry has defied gravity by using debt, securitisation and proprietary trading to boost fee income and profits."
