Why regulators should focus on bankers’ incentives

Wildcatters' risk does not extend beyond their own immediate circumstances.

I seriously doubt that car salespersons' incentives are a noticeable factor in global warming.

It is not unreasonable for the category to be extended to include financial-industry incentive risk in general.

How about if you put up an argument for your position? Just one, to start with.

Well, first of all let's go back to what my argument was.

> I think both are massively corrupt, but there seems to be a disproportionate amount of breath wasted on bankers as compared to other salesmen.

I'm not sure what you want to see. Do you want me to link to articles about corruption outside of finance? I'm not sure that I'm aware of a study on the amount of corruption in banking as compared to database sales for example.

Let's see an argument for the disproportionality; that sales incentives in 'construction, databases and cars' are comparably as potentially harmful as are the incentives in banking. These are the issues that you have been demanding arguments for, so let's see your side.
