What a gong show... Falciani aside, we have big banks fully implicated in high street robbery while suffering next to no damage (insignificant fines/settlements, no arrests) on one side, and on the other side we have government actors acting like cheap, incoherent buffoons, claiming one thing and doing another, participating in international diplomatic displays worthy of kindergarten. Not that any of this is new, but the evidence that's accumulated thus far, particularly in view of the leaks over the past few years, would have you believe that something ought to happen. Yet HSBC and the likes are alive and well, so are their executives, and the only thing governments seem to have ramped up is their capacity for ridicule. The people in power seem to have little to no incentive to change the game, yet they keep getting voted in (or, in fact, just placed there). What recourse does the populace have at this point, short of throwing away the entire economic apparatus?
