The investigative journalist Joris Luyendijk knew as much about the banking sector as the average person: almost nothing. He believed that bank executives were ruthless, competitive, greedy, and obsessed with bonus "sharks" who had no impact on his life. Until one day, he was assigned to investigate the financial sector.
Luyendijk digs into the City of London and for two years tries to decode the labyrinthine world of banks. To succeed, he conducts over 200 interviews. Top executives from investment banks, expert analysts, traders, as well as fired and humiliated employees, once they ensure their anonymity, break banking secrecy and speak to Luyendijk about what happens every day in banks, engage in self-criticism, and reveal their motivations at work.
They admitted that when Lehman Brothers collapsed in 2008, they made sure to stock up on large quantities of food, invested their money in gold, and planned to send their children to the countryside. They agreed that nothing has changed from the crash until now. Luyendijk eventually realized something frightening. What if the people who work in banks are not the real enemies? What if the truth about the global financial sector is even more ominous?
This book is a thrilling and revealing investigation into the ticking time bomb at the heart of our society.
