Finance

Though for the moment this page seems a little empty, it will get filled rather quickly as there are many books on finance in my library that are worth mentioning. I just have not gotten around to writing a short appreciation for them yet.

    Traders, Guns & Money: Knowns and unknowns in the dazzling world of derivatives

    by Satyajit Das

    5 Stars: Fantastic!

    After reading this you wont trust a banker/broker ever again (not that you should have before). The book is written like a set of short stories. They just flow smoothly and along the way you get to learn about how the world of modern finance has become the creature that it is today. Want to know more about how the sub-prime crisis came about? Read the last section. Wonder how Goldman Sachs got out of it without so much of a scratch? The "tone" of the book will let you know. Just a really insightful and pleasurable read if you like the exciting world of high finance.
