La raison pour laquelle je parle de cette tribune est qu'il cite Ferdinand Pecora qui a mené la commission d'enquête sur la crise de 1929. L'extrait de l'introduction de son livre "Wall Street Under Oath" paru en 1939 semble intemporel:
"That its leaders are eminently fitted to guide our nation, and that they would make a much better job of it than any other body of men, Wall Street does not for a moment doubt," Pecora wrote. "Indeed, if you now hearken to the Oracles of The Street, you will hear now and then that the money-changers have been much maligned.
“You will be told that a whole group of high-minded men, innocent of social or economic wrongdoing, were expelled from the temple because of the excesses of a few. You will be assured that they had nothing to do with the misfortunes that overtook the country in 1929-1933; that they were simply scapegoats, sacrificed on the altar of unreasoning public opinion to satisfy the wrath of a howling mob...."Cela indique en tout cas que Wall Street en 1939 avait été sévèrement sanctionné. En sera-t-il de même en 2018? Ca n'en prend pas le chemin pour l'instant.
