Apparently this happened in the '20s to the point where western civilization was coming apart at the seams. The problem is that people aren't alive today to remember those lessons. I suspect this is the last time in history this occurs on the scale that it did in the 20s and today. With the internet, our memories will be much much longer...

The problem isn't specific to GS, it is to the pressure that is put on these firms, particularly firms that believe they are some sort of deity. It is a societal US problem, because so many of us rely on stock prices and indirectly corporate profits to fund our retirements. As the US population has aged, corporations reflect our moral standards or lack-thereof. GS is a mirror that is a reflection of us as a society.
