And played out with other people's money.   A sensational insider's view of the business of trading and marketing derivatives, this revised edition explains the frighteningly central role that derivatives and financial products played in the global financial crisis.     This worldwide bestseller reveals the truth about derivatives: those financial tools memorably described by Warren Buffett as 'financial weapons of mass destruction'. Traders, Guns and Money will introduce you to the players and the practices and reveals how the real money is made and lost.  The global financial crisis took almost everyone by surprise and even now new problems keep appearing and solutions continue to be elusive.

In a 2006 speech   The Coming Credit Crash   Das argued that: \"an informed analysis   shows that risk is not better spread but more leveraged and (arguably) more concentrated . This does not improve the overall stability and security of the financial system but exposes it to increased risk of a \"crash\".","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46472453554395,"sku":"9780273731962-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2b626fed685344bba6e232bb37909d14.png?v=1738803586","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780273731962-secondhand-traders-guns-and-money-knowns-and-unknowns-in-the-dazzling-world-of-derivatives-revised-edition","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
