Part 11/11:
The story of Philip James Baker is a cautionary tale, revealing not just the failings of an individual but also the overarching failures of an entire financial system. As we move forward, the challenge remains to ensure accountability at all levels, preventing future crises born from the same vices that characterized the past. The lessons from Baker’s rise and fall should not be forgotten; they are woven into the fabric of our ongoing economic reality, where greed, risk, and consequence must be more than just hollow words.
