Investment Banking provides no economic contribution

Private oil companies, car manufacturers... so this the product of investment banking? The destruction of resources, which took millions of years to develop. The increased likelihood of respiratory problems. Would you also like to merit the Mexican Gulf disaster?

You are clearly blinded by ignorance, and the materialistic world that surrounds you. You're life is governed by financial gain, hence your narrow-minded, defensive response, to justify working as an investment banker.

Gross Domestic Product measures nothing but the inflow of money from goods and services sold. Where is human progress or development measured? If you understand economics, you would not disregard sustainability so easily.

I'm not advocating communism you ignorant fool. I'm emphasising the importance of human progress that isn't represented by corporate bankers, whom are the most corrupted people on the planet, completely detached from nature and human society.

So you think that cars and energy haven't contributed to human development? What about pharmaceuticals? What about mass transportation? GM crops? What about anything capital intensive?

You really are very dumb. Go eat some courgettes, hug some trees and **** off. Alternatively, you could learn about what you're arguing against.

Why do you feel it is correct that respect is measured upon your material, artificial wealth as opposed to meaningful indexes such as social contribution?

Can anybody justify the notion of becoming an investment banker. These people, who are possibly the most corrupted group of individuals on the planet, can only fulfill this role, because they lack any form of empathy for their fellow humans.

Investment Bankers quite simply manipulate debt and the money supply, in the name of profit and competition. They do no 'create' wealth, or anything that is of social value. Large company profits are merely the product of transferring numbers from one computer screen to another, at the expense of those that are riddled with debt. Yet, the most surprising, and mind-boggling fact of all, is that when it all goes horribly wrong, (2008 financial crisis), it is the honest, hard-working tax-payers, that contribute to society, are the ones to 'bail them out'.

To become an investment banker, is in absolute entirety, to work against the foundations of efficiency, sustainability and human progress!

Investment banking does count in the gdp but however other things such for example buying and selling of shares do not count towards the gdp

the gdp is = C + G +I + (X-M).

Investment in economic which is a component is not what it is in accounting but different in economics. Something is only counted as an Investment if it produces something i.e plants and machinery.

They create more than 50% of a banks revenue... so it helps them to reinvest into the company and therefore help consumers...

Yay lots of trading in CDOs and CDSs produced loads of money! Oh no, it also created a stupidly unstable and unsustainable banking bubble which burst and kicked us all into a field of dense ****.

Thats because of the banking system workign stupidity and capitalism... all the banks r tied in with eachother in a way... and insurance as well..for e.g. when bank a asks for money back from B, B gets it from C , C gets it from D and D gets it from A. Plus the actually fault was the subprime market in America, due to the worlds heavy links and reliance on the dollars there firms it caused a knock on effect. Its actually to subprime borrowers as these are high risk people so blame the America mortgage and lenders
