A bit about that from Wall Street:


> This little survey of financial innovation would be incomplete without notice paid to the ease with which nearly anything can be absorbed into the circuit of money. On shutting down his family’s 172-year-old London art dealership, Charles Leggatt observed, “When I started in art, what mattered was being able to spot a good picture.
