Here, gentle and pleasant people will inevitably end up being unsuccessful, and breasts and buttocks are the light of truth. After all, Oliver Stone used the film "Wall Street" 23 years ago to say: "Greed is good, greed is right, greed is useful, greed can clarify everything, and go straight to the essence of evolution." Yes, take a closer look at those complacent traders or newly graduated kids from the Ivy League with eyes full of desire, and you will understand why "the sense of accomplishment in making money is'better than sex'".
This is a dirty and gorgeous arena, sinister and changeable. In the 1980s when the Salomon Brothers were overcoming difficulties, the top bond trader there was called: "Big Swinging Dicks", and the limelight was no different, but the company was no longer brilliant in just 10 years. Not to mention the lightning-like fall of Lehman Brothers in 2008.
All this is in sharp contrast with the liberal artist style in the lower city not far away. Here is domineering, only money is the head of the horse; there is gentle and confident, and I want everyone to have "love freedom" engraved on their faces. So while walking through several streets, you can have a panoramic view of the different styles, coldness and gentleness coexist, hardness and softness in harmony.
But things are getting less simple and hearty.
When I boarded the Empire State Building again after a year, I no longer just saw the sky and the earth, and my dreams were boundless. At the same time, I smelled the burnt smell of friction when time passed.
Johnny Depp once portrayed such an image in "The Enemy of the Public" as a legendary ranger-like thief in the Great Depression era. With Roosevelt’s New Deal and the transformation of the entire social structure in the Great Depression, his era was over. , The public no longer needs violent heroes as spiritual sustenance. As the last photo of the last era, his personal brilliance can hardly stop the wheels of the era from rolling slowly, so his personal destiny is finally submerged in the process of era change.
We are living in such a drastic variation of a world that is becoming more and more incomprehensible. One of the root causes of all this is the complicated interflow of global trade and capital. The core locations are Wall Street and the City of London.
Yes, if you look more broadly early, you will find that London surpassed New York in the rankings of certain global financial centers around 2007, and the duality competition is clearly on paper. Three years later, although the advantage is still irreplaceable, with the domestic market in the United States weakening and the dollar falling, Frankfurt and Paris, as well as stronger Asian financial centers: Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo began to join the battlefield, further eroding New York’s market share. .
Wall Street is still the heart of the United States, and it is still one of the world's hematopoietic factories. The overall pattern of regulation and taxation will determine the book winning or losing of New York when it faces London. The structural adjustment of the US economy itself is the sound of structural loosening in this era.
After nearly 20 years of all net employment growth coming from the non-trade sector, and the potential of the non-trade sector is now exhausted, the US economy no longer has a strong growth engine. So with the introduction of a new round of quantitative easing, we see two distinct camps, developed economies that need loose money to stimulate growth and emerging economies that need to tighten money to curb inflation. Behind this confrontation pattern implies that the demand for reform of the international monetary system is beginning to become prominent.
"Wall Street 2" was released with great success, and a film review wrote: "Oliver Stone stood behind the camera on the set 23 years ago, thinking about not how to interpret the rules, but how to establish the rules." Contrast with the table. Next to the praise of the previous work. This is exactly what the United States has done for decades. It establishes rules, interprets rules, and Wall Street is able to rule the world. This is the extremely profound importance of the constraints as the boundary of the problem: the river always flows along the river course.
And this will be a turbulent time after all. In New York, you can see the polymorphism, opposition, and fusion on the scale of cultural space. Also in New York, the wind of time is in my ears, sensitive and real. Standing on the top of the Empire State Building, you probably can still see the wild west back then, with a vast territory, where people can gallop; or perhaps what you see is the huge intertwined network of the world today, with information and capital roaring on the road of complex design. pass. Then you look further into the distance, where there are few lights. So your heart is suddenly quiet. This is no longer the passionate age where everything needs to be created from nothing. You can see the brilliant lights, but it is also because of the endless darkness.
