From the bestselling author of Traders, Guns and Money, Satyajit Das, this witty and accessible introduction to the world of extreme money tells the stories of the well-known and not so well-known financiers and traders whose market exuberance and audacious financial risk-taking have resulted in extraordinary returns for themselves and their backers.
Many commentators and financial regulatory bodies are beginning to question recent financial practices. This book provides an overview of the history of the culture of high risk and high greed and explains what ordinary citizens can do to reclaim control of their economic and financial destiny.
Product Description
The human race created money and finance. But our inventions re-create us. Mankind mistook moneya lubricant of society and human well-beingfor an end in itself. Finance, the monetary shadow of real things, came to dominate human reality. Extreme Money tells the story of how this happenedand, in so doing, it tells the story of the modern world.
Bestselling author Satyajit Das draws on 33 years of personal experience at the heart of modern global finance to narrate this story. Das reveals the spectacular, dangerous money games that have generated increasingly massive bubbles of fake growth, Ponzi prosperity, sophistication, and wealthwhile endangering the jobs, possessions, and futures of virtually everyone outside the financial industry. Das shows how extreme money has become ever more unreal; how voodoo banking continues to generate massive phony profits even now; and how a new generation of Masters of the Universe has come to dominate the world.
Extreme Money is about:
The new financial fundamentalism: false gods, false prophets - Faith in money, faith in risk, faith in shadows
The cult of risk and the growth engine that isnt - How financial engineering replaced real engineering and illusions replaced reality
Financial alchemy and the Doomsday Debt Machine- The rise of the global financial machine we cannot escape
The new global oligarchyand the nihilistic games they pla y - Too smart, too fast, too greedy, too self-absorbedand far too dangerous
Backcover
'A true insiders devastating analysis of the financial alchemy of the last 30 years and its destructive consequences. With his intimate first-hand knowledge, Das takes a knife to global finance and financiers to reveal its inner workings without fear or favor.'
-Nouriel Roubini , Professor of Economics at NYU Stern School of Business and Chairman of Roubini Global Economics
'Das describes the causes of the financial crisis with the insight and understanding of a financial wizard, the candor and objectivity of an impartial observer, and a wry sense of humor that reveals the folly in it all.'
Brooksley Born , former chairperson of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)
Once upon a time human society built things. We engineered beautiful objects and created authentic goods. Now this real industrial engineering has been replaced by financial engineering: shuffling money in an endless process of debt, trading and speculation. Its enabled vast fortunes to be made for a few, while the risk was borne by ordinary people the 'privatisation of gain' and 'socialisation of losses'.
Extreme Money tells the story of spectacular and dangerous money games and those elite bankers, traders and financiers, the so-called Masters of the Universe, who continue to play them. Written by an insider, Extreme Money will show you how, little by little, weve all become slaves to financial alchemy and have been enchanted by our own illusory creation: the cult of global finance.
