The examples of doctors / lawyers cited in the excerpt obviates the distinction between the services being offered by those professions and their (existing) ethical implications. I'm not aware of any (again, existing) ethical code by which financial advisers, brokers, hell even insurance salespeople are sworn to before they're able to launch their careers. Seems to me putting some ethical construct around what we do with our money and the relationship with whom we trust to manage our money might be in order, especially in light of the grave misdeeds visited upon the global economy over the past decade.
