It's the revolving door syndrome again. When Blankfein says GS alumni should go out and "do good" after they've made their pile at Goldman, what he really means is getting people with the same neolib ideology installed as counselors to power in governments, and in the international finance orgs like WTO, World Bank, IMF, etc. They really do work hard to ensure that no sensible alternative can emerge to the free lunch they currently enjoy.

A shame a firebrand like Frank went south on this issue and sold out to his highest bidders. He has to go for this.
