Guido Bandido: MTV’s The Jersey Shore and Sexual Neoliberalism

To me, very little distinguishes Mike’s romantic maneuverings from Goldman Sachs’ behavior in finance markets. What difference is there, for instance, between Mike’s surreptitiously approaching other women than the ones he’s entertaining in his beach house and Goldman Sachs’ dealing with the Greece’s bond market, in which Goldman Sachs gave Greece financial advice while at the same time short selling Greek bonds? Fucking or finance, it’s all the same — just business.
