Product Description
This is the eBook version of the printed book.
The human race created money and finance: then, our inventions recreated us.
In Extreme Money, best-selling author and global finance expert Satyajit
Das tells how this happened and what it means. Das reveals the spectacular,
dangerous money games that are generating increasingly massive bubbles of
fake growth, prosperity, and wealth--while endangering the jobs, possessions
, and futures of virtually everyone outside finance.
"...virtually in a category of its own -- part history, part book of
financial quotations, part cautionary tale, part textbook. It contains some
of the clearest charts about risk transfer you will find anywhere. ...Others
have laid out the dire consequences of financialisation ("the conversion of
everything into monetary form", in Das's phrase), but few have done it with
a wider or more entertaining range of references...[Extreme Money] does...
reach an important, if worrying, conclusion: financialisation may be too
deep-rooted to be torn out. As Das puts it -- characteristically borrowing a
line from a movie, Inception -- "the hardest virus to kill is an idea".
