Can the City ever be good for Society?

Since the Financial Crash in 2008, the City has quite rightly received its fair share of criticism for what went wrong. There are simply no excuses for the pain and misery they have caused to millions of citizens in this country and Lord Adair Turner’s (as Chairman of the FSA) words in 2009 that “The City has grown too big and parts of it are “socially useless” seemed to strike a chord with the public at large. Meanwhile, the topic of bankers bonuses still makes the blood boil of ordinary citizens of this country and they struggle to comprehend why senior bankers didn’t go to prison for the crisis they caused.
