Occupation: Journalist

Nationality: United States
Executive summary: The Great Derangement

Heir apparent to Hunter S. Thompson as gonzo journalist at Rolling Stone, where he authored a rambling but rock-solid 2009 expos� of Goldman Sachs's role in triggering the 2008 Wall Street crisis and the resulting economic collapse. In his report, Taibbi memorably described Goldman Sachs as "great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money".

"I could never run for office. I once wrote an article called 'God Can Suck My Dick'. I once threw a pie made of horse sperm at a New York Times reporter. I'm an unmarried drug addict with bad teeth. I think these things pretty much disqualify me."
