How can insurance companies, bankers, corporations do the things that they do? How can the leaders of our country, congressmen, representatives and our elected leaders turn a blind eye to the pain and misery that these businesses are creating. How could our leaders allow the corporate theft and corruption to continue? Even worse how could these same leaders not only allow it, but how can they then bail these people out and give them our money that they obviously stole from the American people and the people of the world?
It's actually quite simple.
One theory is that these business and governmental leaders that are making these decisions are psychopaths. They have no feelings of guilt, or remorse for their actions. They do what benefits them. They are totally self-centered. They seek out positions that can benefit them in their quest for their own selfish goals, manipulate those below and above them and create webs of influence that help them achieve their selfish goals. This is the simple answer to the question.
The article published in The Star, by Mitchell Anderson stated as such:
"This shark-like fixation on self-interest means that psychopaths often feel a clear detachment from other people, viewing them more as sheep to be preyed upon than fellow humans to relate to."
Here's an interview conducted by Alex Jones. The man interviewed Clive Boddy. Boddy has studied corporate psychopathy for many years and has written an excellent article on the subject: The Corporate Psychopaths Theory of the Global Financial Crisis.
The Star article, by Mitchell Anderson states:
"Scientists believe about 1 per cent of the general population is psychopathic, meaning there are more than three million moral monsters among normal United States citizens. There is emerging evidence that this frequency increases within the upper management of modern corporations. This is not surprising since personal ruthlessness and fixation on personal power have become seen as strong assets to large publicly traded corporations (which some authors believe have also become psychopathic)."

Here's a couple of clips to the movie:
Most people have a hard time visualizing a psychopath as a corporate executive. They tend to imagine a psychopath as more of a Charles Manson type serial killer, while this is often the case many psychopaths with access to higher education and beneficial family backgrounds are pursuing easier paths to manipulate their prey and corporations are becoming increasingly attractive to these individuals:
"Scientific research is revealing that 21st century financial institutions with a high rate of turnover and expanding global power have become highly attractive to psychopathic individuals to enrich themselves at the expense of others, and the companies they work for." The Star by Mitchell Anderson.In looking at the problems that were created by financial institutions over the past several years it isn't hard to make an educated guess as to who runs the world. The world just might be run by psychopaths.
