Regulatory capture by the Goldman Web

A rather incredible video by the right-wing Fox News commentator Glenn Beck (I did not further check his background), outlining the capture of the regulatory government apparatus by former Goldman Sachs employees. Quite unbelievable but unfortunately in this case, so true, and the left could probably not say it.

One Response to “Regulatory capture by the Goldman Web”

  1. Stefan Meretz Says:

    On one Hand, this sounds a bit like a conspiracy theory, but on the other hand maybe quite normal in the US. Glenn Beck is a libertarian with — for euro-perspectives — quite weird mixture of believes in god, family, and homeland, and an anti-state attitude.
