The Mindset of Top Government Officials

Even Hayek, who famously argued that top government positions tend to attract those of dubious moral character, might have been surprised by former IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn. DSK admits to participating in numerous orgies — “only a dozen or two” — during his stint with the Fund, and insists that these did not distract him from his important work. “These afternoons took place between 2009 and 2011, a time when Strauss-Kahn told the court he was ‘saving the world’ as head of the IMF at the height of the global financial crisis.” DSK maintains he could not possibly have known the young women attending the orgies were paid for their participation. “I am horrified by the idea of using prostitutes … I always believed that these women came for me, because of who I am.”
