Oh, look — Goldman Sachs owns Europe, too. Joy.
This is The Goldman Sachs Project. Put simply, it is to hug governments close. Every business wants to advance its interests with the regulators that can stymie them and the politicians who can give them a tax break, but this is no mere lobbying effort. Goldman is there to provide advice for governments and to provide financing, to send its people into public service and to dangle lucrative jobs in front of people coming out of government. The Project is to create such a deep exchange of people and ideas and money that it is impossible to tell the difference between the public interest and the Goldman Sachs interest.

Advice: do it my way, or we won’t pony up the money for your pet project.
Lobbyists–we can hire you on as a lobbyist. I know it’s often done the other way around, but… No jobs for those who likely need them, either.

Deep, but narrow…
