  • I was fascinated by the enormous reaction to the op-ed piece in the New York Times by Greg Smith, a former executive director at Goldman Sachs. Apparently, its newsworthy that the culture of Wall Street is toxic and destructive.
  • (YAHOO!)
  • When I accosted a senior Goldman executive about this, he confirmed the details and said that, though he was unhappy about the findings, they were not entirely surprising. All the big Wall Street firms now wear multiple hats.

  • THE NSW government is pressing ahead with plans for a major shake-up of the states tribunal system, which could include the state Industrial Relations Commission being rolled into a new super-tribunal.
  • (The Australian)
  • The resignation letter heard round the world proves what we already know: Washington would like to think it can change the culture of Wall Street -- and it cant.
