From the 1987 crash to Citigroup closing the Salomon Arb unit, from staggering losses at UBS to the demise of Long-Term Capital Management, Bookstaber gives readers a front row seat to the management decisions made by some of the most powerful financial figures in the world that led to catastrophe and describes the impact of his own activities on markets and market crashes. “Much of the innovation of the last 30 years has wreaked havoc on the markets and cost trillions of dollars. A Demon of Our Own Design tells the story of man's attempt to manage market risk and what it has wrought. In the process of showing what we have done. “Bookstaber shines a light on what the future holds for a world where capital and power have moved from Wall Street institutions to elite and highly leveraged hedge funds.” - From the Dust-jacket SATISFACTION GUARANTEED30 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEWe Ship Worldwide Visit Our Collectors-Bookshelf Store forDiscounted Sale Priceswww.ebay.com/str/collectors-bookshelf A Demon of Our Own Design HARDCOVER DJ FIRST EDITION BRAND NEW
