“We’re responsible for the recession, Marty. We gave these students their MBA sheepskins, and they went off to Wall Street, creating these disastrous derivatives. They made themselves a bundle, but they knew that in the long run these derivatives would be bad for their companies and bad for the whole national economy.” The speaker was my friend Yoram (Jerry) Wind.
