Rob a bank and you risk a long stretch in jail. Run a bank whose dubious behavior leads to global economic collapse and you risk nothing of the sort, more likely a handsome pay-off.
Illegal and dangerous mistakes associated with the financial industry have caused serious harm to the US and world economies. The scandals keep coming—rate rigging, money laundering, mis-selling and sanctions busting. The backlash (反对) against the industry shows no sign of easing.
So given the scale of damage and public anger, fuelled by the industry’s bonus culture, it is curious that those responsible have largely avoided punishment in the traditional judicial sense, despite the demand for it.
That we so want those involved to get their just deserts has its roots in ancient human forms of social control, which led to our modern sense of morality.
In their fundamental, hunter-gatherer forms, crime and punishment surely go back for tens of millennia (千年). The case has been made that by 45,000 years ago, or possibly earlier, people were practicing moralistic (说教的) social control much as we do.
Without exception, investigators that still exist today and best reflect this ancient way of life exert aggressive watch over their peers for the good of the group. Economic villains are mainly bullies who use threats or force to benefit themselves, along with thieves and cheats.
All are free-riders who take without giving, and all are punished by the group. This can range from mere criticism or ostracism (放逐) to active shaming, ejection or even capital punishment. This moral behavior was reinforced over the millennia that such egalitarian (平等主义的) bands dominated human life.
Then around 12,000 years ago, larger, still—egalitarian sedentary (定居的) tribes arrived with greater needs for centralized control. Eventually clusters of tribes formed authoritative chiefdoms. Next came early civilizations, with centrally prescribed and powerfully enforced moral orders. One thing tied these and modern, state-based moral systems to what came before and that was the human capacity for moral indignation. It remains strong today.
So there is an inevitable discontentment when bankers seem to "get away with it", offending this instinctive moral corrective sense.
And ultimately, such public opinion should strongly influence how we police fiscal deviants—but there are complicating factors that suggest this instinct is being undermined when it comes to taming the most harmful behavior in the banking world. [br] According to the passage, why are the public angry with the financial industry?
选项
A、Because people in it have made too many mistakes.
B、Because it has caused serious harm to the US and world economies.
C、Because people making serious mistakes in it are not punished but rewarded.
D、Because too many scandals in it are known to the public.
答案
C
解析
由题干关键词the pubic angry with the financial industry定位到第三段。推理判断题。由定位段可知,虽然其行为造成的损害巨大,该产业的分红文化更使得公众的愤怒火上浇油,但奇怪的是,那些责任人却常常能够避开传统司法意义上的惩罚。因此C)“因为在金融业中,那些犯过严重错误的人并没有受到惩罚,相反却得到了奖励”与原文意思相符,故为正确答案。
