From The Independent
''The ascension of Mario Monti to the Italian prime ministership is
remarkable for more reasons than it is possible to count. By replacing
the scandal-surfing Silvio Berlusconi, Italy has dislodged the
undislodgeable. By imposing rule by unelected technocrats, it has
suspended the normal rules of democracy, and maybe democracy itself. And
by putting a senior adviser at Goldman Sachs in charge of a Western
nation, it has taken to new heights the political power of an investment
bank that you might have thought was prohibitively politically toxic.
This is the most remarkable thing of all: a giant leap forward for,
or perhaps even the successful culmination of, the Goldman Sachs
Project.''
