Oliver Stone Shares a Love With Wall Street: Roger Lowenstein

We already knew that Oliver Stone, a stockbroker’s son, didn’t like Wall Street. He thinks of it as a place where people have no morals and will do anything for money. Most of them deserve to be in prison -- or so Stone suggested in a recent interview in the New York Times.

This isn’t, necessarily, because people on Wall Street have broken a law, or murdered anyone. They have violated the values in Stone’s moral universe. These codes are never drawn in shades of gray; Stone is a moral absolutist.
