Logic of Finance Can Banish Corruption (Part 4): Robert Shiller - Bloomberg: Those in the world of finance who belong to a higher caste -- because they are graduates of an elite college or are connected to a specific business culture -- realize an immense economic advantage.

This promotes stability of the caste.
