A critical look inside global finance which deciphers the characteristic jargon masking the reality of the casino which the financial markets have become, to reveal the mechanisms of speculation: the players (the financing banks, the investment funds, the large corporations, the ratings agencies); the chips they play with (mortgages, derivatives, basic foods, oil, arms, pollution…); as well as the shadowy regulators. These are games involving marked cards, tricks and traps, which form a global network over which governments have renounced control, and which ultimately impose themselves on countries' democratic processes.
An essential book.
