This quote reflects a cynical view of financial incentives and risk-taking in the corporate or financial world. It suggests that while bonuses might traditionally motivate individuals, the existence of complex financial instruments like derivatives is enough to drive behavior, possibly with high risks. It’s a critique of a system where people rely on potentially volatile financial products rather than more stable rewards, hinting at a disregard for the consequences in favor of profit. It’s thought-provoking and underscores the sometimes precarious nature of financial markets.
