In Jenga, a beloved game that has been featured on “The Big Bang Theory,” players remove wooden blocks in a tower and place them in such a way as to increase the height of the tower without knocking it over. From the online instructions for Jenga:
Keep removing and stacking blocks until someone topples the tower. A real pro can build a tower 36 stories high or more.
Substitute “central banker” for “pro,” and you have an apt description of modern finance.
That was quite clever
