Nope, they are abusing their monopoly on credit creation and access to markets / lobbying. The west has been struggling big time since the 1970s. Yes we have "growth" but that is just counted in fiat. We now have families with both parents working all the time for the same home their parents had. Because of the banks issuing credit ahead of the rate of increase of wealth creation. It's been a total disaster.

Both parents working happened due to women _wanting_ to enter the workplace. It had nothing to do with Goldman Sachs.
