University of Minnesota professor Karen Ho talks about how Wall Street is a culture full of prep school cronies that are so focused on profits and bonuses, that they have no long term economic vision. Ho is the author of the upcoming book, Liquidated: An Ethnography of Wall Street. Based on three years of research immersed in Wall Street fieldwork, including working for a bank, she reveals the dominance of financial culture and how it has spread across America and set the stage for financial crises.

Actually, most of the partnership managing committee members or commercial killer managing directors are from mediocre ny local schools; they just worked their asses off to achieve the American Dream. It's their kids that end up going to UPenn Wharton, Harvard, MIT etc. Those 99% percentile IQ's aren't guaranteed to make it big. They usually fall prey to the think tank culture who aren't concerned with amassing vast fortunes, and waste their genetic advantages on abstract theory and naysaying.
