Regulatory overkill in banking
Soberbia can best be translated as a mixture of arrogance and pride. It is one of the seven deadly sins and prevalent in Spain (and in half Spaniards like me). Yet in the World Cup final, the Spanish team won on the back of humility.
It is admittedly natural to be humble when failure stares you in the face every four years – a football-mad nation that consistently lost on the international scene, bar the 2008 European Championship – but it is rather more difficult for those who are champions in their fields.
