How Money and Finance Captured the World-and Enslaved Humanity
- How the new financial elite generates gigantic fortunes-and endangers everyone else's future
- The "financialization of everything"-from home mortgages to global warming
- By Satyajit Das, the global finance expert featured in the Oscar®-winning Inside Job and author of the international bestseller Traders, Guns & Money
Once, we built things-useful things. Now, we construct immense financial structures from thin air and lies. We have crafted a colossal worldwide financial machine that makes a few individuals staggeringly wealthy and sacrifices everyone else at its altar of risk.
How was this machine built? How did it ensnare us? In Extreme Money, Satyajit Das tells that story from the inside: as a financier who spent decades doing deals-and cleaning up deals that failed. Epic in its scope and tragedy, Extreme Money reveals how we have all become slaves to our own illusory, unsustainable creation: global finance.
Autoren-Porträt von Satyajit Das
Satyajit Das is an international specialist in the area of financial derivatives, risk management, and capital markets, with a global reputation.
Das presciently anticipated many aspects of the Global Financial Crisis in his 2006 book Traders, Guns & Money: Knowns and Unknowns in the Dazzling World of Derivatives. In a speech that year-"The Coming Credit Crash"-he argued that: "an informed analysis of the structured credit markets shows that risk is not better spread but more leveraged and (arguably) more concentrated amongst hedge funds and a small group of dealers. This does not improve the overall stability and security of the financial system but exposes it to increased risk of a 'crash' during a credit downturn." He has continued to be a respected commentator on subsequent developments in the crisis.
He was featured in Charles Ferguson's 2010 Oscar-winning documentary Inside Job and a 2009 BBC TV documentary Tricks with Risk. He has appeared on TV and radio-ABC and SBS (Australia); BBC (UK); Bloomberg (USA); CNBC (UK and Asia); SABC, Summit TV and e-TV (South Africa); Canadian Broadcasting and Business New Network (Canada); and NZ Radio. He is a frequent interviewee and widely quoted in the financial press in the United States, Canada, UK/ Europe, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia.
Between 1988 and 1994, Das was the Treasurer of the TNT Group, an international transport and logistics company with responsibility for the Global Treasury function. Between 1977 and 1987, he worked in banking with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Citicorp Investment Bank, and Merrill Lynch.
Since 1994, Das has acted as a consultant to financial institutions and corporations in Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. He provides advice on trading, pricing/valuation, and risk management of derivative transactions/financial products. He also presents advanced seminars on

financial derivatives/ risk management and capital markets for derivatives and finance professionals throughout the world. Between 2000 and 2007, he was a consultant to and Director of Rand Merchant Bank, a division of First Rand Group of South Africa.
He is the author of Traders, Guns & Money: Knowns and Unknowns in the Dazzling World of Derivatives-Revised Edition (2006 and 2010), an insider's account of derivatives trading and the financial products business filled with black humor and satire. The book has been described by the Financial Times, London as "fascinating reading...explaining not only the high-minded theory behind the business and its various products but the sometimes sordid reality of the industry." James Pressley at Bloomberg included the revised edition of the book in his list of 50 top business titles published since January 1, 2009.
Das is also the author of a number of key reference works on derivatives and risk management including Swaps/ Financial Derivatives Library-Third Edition (2005) (a four-volume, 4,200-page reference work for practitioners on derivatives) and Credit Derivatives, CDOs and Structured Credit Products-Third Edition (2005).
He has published widely on financial issues in professional journals and newspapers.
His blogs can be found on a number of online financial sites, including www.nakedcapitalism.com, www.roubini.com, www.minyanville.com, www.eurointelligence.com and www.prudentbear.com.
Das is also the author (with Jade Novakovic) of In Search of the Pangolin: The Accidental Eco-Tourist (2006, New Holland), a travel narrative on eco-tourism.
