This is a surprising take from Zach, considering that the World Economic Forum exists, and the LIBOR fixing scandal wasn't too long ago.

Ultimately, nothing big can happen in the world without the complexity of a ton of people, systems, etc being involved. The world is complicated. But there are absolutely many examples throughout history and even recent events of small groups of individuals having outsized amounts of influence.
