ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Satyajit Das is a globally respected former banker and consultant with over thirty-five years experience in financial markets. He presciently anticipated, as early as 2006, the Global Financial Crisis and the subsequent sovereign debt problems, as well as the unsustainable nature of Chinas economic success. His early identification of the ineffectiveness of policy actions being taken by authorities to restore growth has also proved largely accurate. In 2014 Bloomberg nominated him as one of the fifty most influential financial thinkers in the world.

Das is the author of two international bestsellers, Traders, Guns & Money: Knowns and Unknowns in the Dazzling World of Derivatives (2006) and Extreme Money: The Masters of the Universe and the Cult of Risk (2011). He was featured in Charles Fergusons 2010 Oscar-winning documentary Inside Job, the 2012 PBS Frontline series Money, Power & Wall Street, the 2009 BBC TV documentary Tricks with Risk, and the 2015 German film Whos Saving Whom.
