This goes good with horgads post on Argentina.
Goldman Sachs was a major player in their demise.
And may underwrite ours.

Excerpts;
Almost whatever the country, you can find Goldman Sachs veterans in positions of pivotal power.
They are well-credentialed, partly by design. From its beginning when the German immigrant Marcus Goldman began discounting IOUs among the diamond merchants of New York in the 1870s, Goldman Sachs has always known about the power of the network of influence. Goldman hires former politicians and civil servants, as readily as it supplies them.
And then there is simply the intellectual quality of the employees, many hired as much youngster men via a gruelling interview process, and then forged in the fire of 17-hour work days.
With Goldman Sachs at the heart of Wall Street, and Wall Street at the heart of the US economy, few expects its power to wane. Indeed, The New York Times columnist David Brooks noted that Goldman Sachs employees have given more money to Barack Obama's campaign for president than workers of any other employer in the US. "Over the past few years, people from Goldman Sachs have assumed control over large parts of the federal government," Brooks noted grimly. "Over the next few they might just take over the whole darn thing."

The rest of the article is a "who's who of power" in Goldman Sachs.
Check out the connections to our government and others.
Remember there's no conspiracy...Just coincidences ...Now move along there's nothing to see...

I haven't read it yet, but I doubt that it will shock me. GS, Leahman Bros. and company run the US, for their own gain, period.
