Interesting item that seems to define the politics of today vs. the ideals of 
the distant past.

The Predator Class 
by Dick Meyer
12.01.03

<snip>

Despite assurances from game-theorists and anthropologists that the 
criminal cadre in the species remains a constant percentage over 
time, I believe today's mainstream, sanitized, and institutionally 
sanctioned financial crime rackets are being run by a new breed of 
crook. There have always been scandals and crooks in the history of 
American money, but our predator class is a distinct creation of the 
late 20th century.
