Pay Bankers Much Less

You are correct Felix, most bankers are grossly overpaid, and as explained in Liar's Poker, they dont even care much about the total amount, but by the relative amount they earn compared to others in the company/competition.

A friend has a P.h.d in Physics, she is very bright, and instead of working to solve serious problems, she was attracted to work in trading models for Wall street because she made much more money, but I bet her talent would be put to much better use in another place solving real world problems.
