Morgan Stanley has just announced the names of its new managing directors. They are all talented, committed individuals (that's nice, isn't it?) and they embody what it means to be world wise. Fine. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. But how many of them are financial shamans or money mystics? That's a moot question. I don't know any of these new directors. No, tell a lie, I can recall bumping into Adam Jonas in the desert one time, but that's about it. Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe mystical capitalism isn't the big deal I keep saying it is. Well, never mind.
