“The problem is that finance is useless. The solution is to try and do something useful with the only thing it produces: the money it makes for the winners… Meaning has to be found in what they subsequently do with the money they have made. For many of them, the most valuable thing they can do with their riches is establish a reputation outside the world of finance which matches the image they have in their own heads. It is for this reason that so many people in finance, after achieving their fortune, become obsessed with wanting to be the thing they know themselves to be: a philosopher king.”

“در بعضی از کشورها، مانند سوییس و لوکزامبورگ، حساب های جاری وجود دارند که دارندگان این حساب ها می توانند به طور آزادانه ای از آن ها استفاده کنند، حتی پول شویی یا جابه جا کردن پول هایی که از راه خلاف به دست آورنده اند. اکثر دولتمردان فاسد، سرمایه داران خلافکار و حاکمان خودکامه، به ویژه از کشورهای جهان سوم، با استفاده از امکان محرمانه بودن نام خود در بانک های این کشورها، ثروت خود را به این بانک ها انتقال می دهند و بابت نگه داری این پول ها هزینه پرداخت می کنند. یکی از مهم ترین درآمدهای کشور سوییس همین نگه داری از پول این دسته اشخاص است.”
