A compelling narrative on what went wrong with our financial systemand whos to blame.From an awardwinning journalist who has been covering the industry for more than a decade, The Devils Derivatives charts the untold story of modern financial innovationhow investment banks invented new financial products, how investors across the world were wooed into buying them, how regulators were seduced by the political rewards of easy credit, and how speculators made a killing from the nearmeltdown of the financial system.Author Nicholas Dunbar demystifies the revolution that briefly gave finance the same intellectual respectability as theoretical physics. He explains how bankers worldwide created a secret trilliondollar machine that delivered cheap mortgages to the masses and riches beyond dreams to the financial innovators.Fundamental to this saga is how the people who hated to lose were persuaded to accept risk by the people who loved to win. Why did people come to trust and respect arcane financial tools? Who were the bankers competing to assemble the basic components into increasingly intricate machines? How did this process achieve its own unstoppable momentumending in collapse, bailouts, and a public outcry against the giants of finance?Provocative and intriguing, The Devils Derivatives sheds muchneeded light on the forces that fueled the most brutal economic downturn since the Great Depression.

Honestly, I was hoping for a more thrilling account. 'The Devil's Derivatives' turned out to be slower than I anticipated, and I found myself skimming through parts. It could have used more excitement or real-life anecdotes to keep it interesting. Wish I could get my money back!

Interesting but a bit dry at times
I enjoyed 'The Devil's Derivatives' and learned a lot about the financial instruments that nearly collapsed Wall Street. However, some sections felt a bit heavy with jargon and could have used more engaging storytelling. Still, I appreciate the in-depth research.

A fascinating dive into Wall Street shenanigans
I picked up 'The Devil's Derivatives' after hearing about it from a friend. It's a gripping narrative about the traders and regulators involved in the 2008 crisis. The author's style makes complex topics accessible and really keeps you hooked throughout the book. Definitely worth a read for finance enthusiasts!
