Barometer of Fear: An Insider’s Account of Rogue Trading and the Greatest Banking Scandal in History
Autor Alexis Stenforsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 sep 2017
The
LIBOR
affair
has
been
described
as
the
biggest
banking
scandal
in
history,
a
deception
affecting
not
only
banks
but
also
corporations,
pension
funds
and
ordinary
people.
But
was
this
just
the
tip
of
the
iceberg?
Was
the
scandal
the
work
of
a
few
bad
apples
or
an
inevitable
result
of
a
financial
system
rotten
to
its
core?
Labelled
“one
of
the
world's
most
infamous
rogue
traders”
in
the
wake
of
a
mis-marking
scandal,
Alexis
Stenfors
went
on
to
rebuild
his
life
and
now
guides
us
through
the
shadowy
world
of
modern
banking,
providing
an
insider’s
account
of
the
secret
practices—including
the
manipulation
of
foreign
exchange
rates—that
have
allowed
banks
to
profit
from
systematic
deception.
Containing
remarkable
and
often
shocking
insights
derived
from
Stenfor’s
own
experiences
in
the
dealing
room,
as
well
as
his
spectacular
fall
from
grace
at
Merrill
Lynch, Barometer
of
Fear draws
back
the
curtain
on
a
realm
that
for
too
long
has
remained
hidden
from
public
view.

Recenzii
“A
fascinating
insight
into
the
culture
of
modern
banking
and
the
psychology
of
risk-taking
on
the
trading
floor.”
“[Stenfors]
has
written
a
beautifully
literate,
Jonathan
Swift-referencing
book
about
the
dark
side
of
the
City
and
in
particular
Libor,
the
London
interbank
offered
rate
that
was
once
dubbed
the
“barometer
of
fear.’”
“The
most
shocking
element
of
Stenfors’s
new
book
is
that
it
confirms
that
the
economic
crisis,
which
was
effectively
created
by
the
banks,
did
very
little
to
make
the
banks
address
their
bad
habits.”
“A
searingly
honest
account
of
the
activities
of
traders
in
the
world's
global
markets,
written
in
an
accessible
style
by
a
brilliant,
but
touchingly
human
trader
who
found
himself
at
the
very
vortex
of
the
great
financial
crisis.Barometer
of
Fearoffers
deep
insights
in
to
the
workings
of
the
machinery
that
is
the
global
financial
system.“
“Stenfors
uncovers
how
unregulated
finance
operates,
or
more
precisely
how
traders
think.
He
exposes
a
system
out
of
control,
incapable
of
self-restraint,
nourishing
rogue
behaviour
and
ready
to
burst
again
at
any
time.”
