“The central bankers of the world literally cannot conceive of what they would do if Goldman Sachs ever did go belly-up. This would threaten the entire world economy. This is why governments and central banks are not about to allow Goldman Sachs to go belly-up, which is why Goldman Sachs indulges in high-risk, high-return speculation: managers know that the firm will be bailed out. This is called moral hazard, and it is basic to the modern economy.”
