I found this quote from Ben Rickert (Brad Pitt) from the movie: "If we're right, people lose homes. People lose jobs. People lose retirement savings, people lose pensions. You know what I hate about fucking banking? It reduces people to numbers. Here's a number - every 1% unemployment goes up, 40,000 people die, did you know that?" Precisely along the lines of the theme I discussed in the OP.
