I've been wondering the same thing about Geithner, Bernanke, et a. These egg heads are mega-quants. So attached to their mathematical models that they can't see the reality of human nature. They live in a linear and exponential delusion. And... they are destroying our economy and currency. Keep in mind, economies have been around a lot longer than electronic spreadsheets...
Could you show me any of the Bernanke's papers that would qualify him as a quant, let alone a "mega-quant?" Have you read any of them? There is no evidence that I am aware of that Geithner is quantitative at all.
You appear to be "have been wondering" about a nonexistent world.
"So attached to their mathematical models that they can't see the reality of human nature."
Does it bother you that you make strong conclusions, which typically call for a great deal of justification, without any justification at all? Does it bother you that, however different your starting point may be, you have arrived at Marxist conclusions?
But, at least you have the strength of numbers. This crowd of supposed conservatives will accept any nonsense as long as it is directed against the Fed, the "CEOs," the "bankers," the "rich." It has taken over a century, but the commies are winning: they have converted even people like you, who think of themselves as conservative.
Apparently a good capitalist would cheer on what the banksters, globalists and fraudsters have done to countries the world over. Argentina, parts of Africa, Russia, etc.
