I always thought there is a serious problem with our country when the best and brightest go to work in the financial sector.



I don't. There is massive misallocation of capital still going on by government and unsophisticated businessman (such as your local businesses or small venture capital) that wall street could fix.

The current problem on wall street is that there is too much money chasing too few deals (government regulation/ownership prevent many asset classes from being tradeable) and bailouts (which defeat the incentives in capitalism - incentive to not fail). Both problems are caused by government.
