Since I began writing my column for Puck, I’ve been inundated with feedback about Wall Street’s biggest characters and concerns. I’ll be engaging with some of those questions here—in addition to a few observations of my own.


Larry Fink recently called on the World Bank and I.M.F. to do more to combat the risk of climate change. Obviously climate change presents a clear and present danger to all of us, and Fink has long been a leader on the issue. I presume his stance is altruistic, but I also presume there is a financial angle to “decarbonizing the economy.”
