Planet Money Deep Read: Satyajit Das




Planet Money show

Summary: Today, we hear from Satyajit Das, a risk consultant and author of Traders, Guns & Money: Knowns and Unknowns in the Dazzling World of Derivatives. Das' book was written before the financial crisis, but if you read it when it came out, not much of what happened during the crisis would have surprised you. It's a very detailed, very cynical account of what actually goes on inside Wall Street banks.
