There was another cultural phenomenon. In my own
research, I came across an article in Dealmaker magazine
about an event in which young male traders attended sex parties
for wealthy older women for a fee; others or who took clients
to sex clubs, a practice that women on the Street objected
to because it was both sexist and discriminatory. Some even
sued. There was another case of traders funding a sex club in
the Hamptons.
So now we can add to the lack of regulation and the greed
that fueled criminal practices, a cultural pathology that is far
more personal and self-destructive. I am not being moralistic
here, but a climate of narcissism and living secret lives often
desensitizes its practitioners leaving them little time to think
of how their actions may affect others.
