Yes, I think the size of the financial sector is a problem. They don't create value, just shuffle it around. They don't build things, or grow food, or keep people healthy and heal the sick. They're only useful in a hyperspecialized way in a hyperdeveloped civilization. And if they outweigh the people whose work is indispensable ... something is going to go smash, sooner or later.
