> I don't think that 'intellectuals' help... A lot of criticism of the financial sector is dismissed with arguments like "it's more complicated than that" and "you don't understand." So I guess by "intellectual," I meant someone who can see through the layers of complexity and find the weak spot. I think this might require more of an insider position rather than outsider.
