...sure, Cantor hasn't escaped the biggest financial meltdown in decades unscathed. The firm was a prominent player in the trading of credit default swaps, and that market for bond insurance has been battered by the rising defaults in home loans and other debts. Worse, some politicians and regulators, irked by the huge losses rung up by AIG in CDS contracts, have talked about creating a central exchange, much like the New York Stock Exchange, where the bond insurance would trade. Some have proposed doing away with CDS all together. Those changes would significantly curtail, or wipe out, Cantor...

...Resistance and beyond May 1968. By the suburban riots of 2005, however, the ethnically diverse, economically disenfranchised project youths behind that violence had adapted France's tradition of politicized insurgency to a pragmatic goal that bossnapping employees are now also pursuing: securing a productive, gainful spot in France's market economy and capitalist society. The French public largely sympathizes: 55% of people in a BVA/Les Echos poll this week said they believe radical protest measures are justified, and 64% think actions like bossnapping should be depenalized because they constitute a last-gasp effort to avoid skyrocketing joblessness...
