Thanks for the link, will pass it on.

My take on the populist narrative - since 2008/9 there's existed a populist "anti banker" narrative. It's an oversimplification and not at all helpful. "Bankers" aren't the problem any more than blaming individuals is the solution. These problems are systemic. They reveal the shortcomings of our regulatory systems, but more than that they are symptomatic of a darkness in the hearts of men. A lust for power over others and a lack of compassion. It's a spiritual battle as old as mankind, and the stakes are high.
