Ozymandias and the banks

I read a broker note today which described China's Ozymandian (and bank funded) urbanization program. But then the banks have always lent towards Ozymandias.

Here - framed for irony - is UBS paying Ben Kingsley to read the classic Shelley poem.

Enjoy...

Pretty clear that no one at UBS understood the poem (or someone in marketing had a deep contempt for the executive suite).
