Textul de pe ultima copertă
After
years
of
TV
and
radio
coverage,
gallons
of
newsprint
ink,
and
billions
of
scholarly
opinions
on
the
blogosphere,
do
we
really
understand
the
financial
engineering
that
brought
the
global
economy
to
the
brink?
The terms and acronyms that make up the language of economics are enough to cause the layman's head to start spinning: leverage, securitization, futures, options, MBS, CDS, CDO. Luckily, we have veteran journalist Paddy Hirsch—senior producer at APM'sMarketplaceand acknowledged Whiteboard Guru—to help us crack the code. In Man vs. Markets, he proves that it's not impossible to understand what's going on in the glass-and-steel canyons of Wall Street; that most international financial transactions aren't all that different from those taking place every day in stores, in car dealerships, even on the playgrounds of Main Street.
Bonds? They're basically loans. Futures? You probably used one when you ordered your Thanksgiving turkey last year. Options? Ever bought a fully transferable, returnable airline ticket? That's pretty much the same thing.
With a winning combination of acquired wisdom, common sense, market savvy, and an outrageous sense of humor, Hirsch clearly explains and defines the instruments that power our financial system and very nearly caused its demise. Clever, insightful, hugely educational, and always entertaining,Man vs. Marketstranslates the often confusing language of finance, enabling every one of us to truly comprehend what makes the markets tick.
