When Roger Williams got his turn at the microphone earlier this month, his question for the bank CEOs lined up before the House committee on financial services seemed an unusual one to put to seven sharp-suited financiers. “Are you a socialist or are you a capitalist?” the Texas Republican asked each of them, from Citigroup’s Mike Corbat to David Solomon of Goldman Sachs.
本月早些時候,當輪到羅傑•威廉斯(Roger Williams)發言時,他對衆議院金融服務委員會面前一排銀行業執行長們提了一個問題。「你是社會主義者還是資本主義者?」這位德克薩斯州共和黨人要求他們——從花旗集團(Citigroup)的邁克•柯爾巴(Mike Corbat)到高盛(Goldman Sachs)的蘇德巍(David Solomon)——逐個回答。對於七位西裝筆挺的金融家來說,這似乎是一個不尋常的問題。
