Review: Traders, Guns & Money: Knowns and unknowns in the dazzling
world of derivatives (Paperback) by Satyajit Das (Author)From the
Back Cover
Warren Buffet once memorably described derivatives as “financial
weapons of mass destruction”. Read this sensational and
controversial account of the often dazzling business of
derivatives trading, and see if you agree.
No money is ever really made in financial markets. Markets merely
transfer wealth. As to how to make money? Well, it is basically
theft, misrepresentation, lies, cheating, deception or force. It
is impossible to make the staggering amounts made in derivatives
in good years honestly.
Traders, Guns & Money is a wry and wickedly comic exposé of the
culture, games, and pure deceptions played out every day in
trading rooms around the world, usually with other people’s money.
Whether you move in the financial world yourself, know people who
do, or have money invested in stocks, shares or derivatives, this
is a fascinating read guaranteed to make you think.
