I'm sorry I know this stuff is way boring for a lot of people, but I've found a couple of articles that I found informative. For those wanting to hear a bit more history and background about big banks and the last couple of decades, read on:

The above is a Mike Mayo article, with a brief explanation of big bank money and how there is no one to provide a check or balance to the big banks... except him. :) Outside of the I told you so pride shown in the article, it is very good!

This article from the New York times also provides views on some of the same groups. It lauds the high intelligence and drive of modern leaders, but challenges to find modern leaders that also have some humility or humanity. I like it too.
