Goldman’s Game of Life

Does anyone remember The Game of Life?  You drove in a little plastic car around the game board, and if you made all the right decisions, you’d end up with a home in the suburbs, a mortgage, and 2.5 children.  Which was the game’s definition of happiness, I guess.

Those zany jokers at Goldman have created their own version in a flowchart of Europe’s current fiscal dilemma, with outcomes ranging from Euro Happiness to Euro Misery.  The chart seems reasonably comprehensive, except for the box that says, “Buy complex Goldman financial instruments that convince you and everyone else that you’re solvent when in fact you’re not.”

Don’t know why they left that out.
