THE FARC AND THE NYSE
On the same day in June that the Colombian government was announcing that it
would henceforth count cocaine farming (estimated at $1 billion a year) in
its official economic figures, the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange
went to the remote village of La Machaca to meet with a top commander of the
Marxist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, which the U.S. State
Department has labeled a terrorist group. NYSE Chairman Richard Grasso
reportedly invited the leader, Raul Reyes, to New York to learn more about
international markets.
