I got to this part at the end and thought....hang on...I'm supposed to be concerned about 202 global fund managers with £334 billion of assets ?A total of 202 global fund managers with $659 billion (£334 billion) of assets participated in the survey.
And then I closed the thread and thought stupid twatws....Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
