Question 10 :Respond to Oliver's post to his question #9


Question 10 Answer Oliver's question 9
I think your post is quite accurate. Whether the octopus image represents greed or the simple fact that Britain was a colossal Empire is in the mind of the beholder. It is certainly true that in the modern world the issue of incredibly rich corporations and individuals have become bigger issues today. Seemingly, Nations states are more and more doing the bidding of elites. It seems that the common people have loyalty to the nation state while the wealth have loyalty only to their wealth. Interestingly, Matt Taibbi wrote a book on the 2008 financial collapse called Griftopia. In it he described Goldman Sachs as a giant blood sucking octopus just like the image of Britain.
