Jason Zweig: Wall Street And The “Vampire Squid”: A Brief History

FYI: In July 2009, journalist Matt Taibbi invoked an indelible image when he described Goldman Sachs as “a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.”

The metaphor has a longer history than you might realize.
