Moving money from one pile to another is only useful when the rest of us do actual work. The mistake that the west is making is assuming moving piles of money from one place to another is the actual work.

There is no value in pure finance.

You can't live in a vacuum, and you'll struggle to find a career in "pure finance".

Nobody assumes that.
