Bankers: an anthropological study
Thought this might be of interest to some of you monkeys. An anthropological study of finance in london carried out by the Guardian newspaper (left wing british broadsheet).
The normal reader of the guardian is your typical banker bashing armchair socialist and this "study" aims to demystify what so many of them hate but have no understanding of. It's got lots of anonymous interviews with people in various postions in the industry, front office, IT guys, recruiters, asset managment, an intern, a bankers ex girlfriend?, and there seems to be more added fairly regularly. Some that might make you cringe more than others. It's been relativly interesting so far I feel, but reading the comments is an experience....

Hell you might want to contact the guy and get interviewed yourself. Set the record straight.
