Opis

Wealthy, powerful and potentially dangerous, hedge fund moguls have become the 'It Boys' of 21st-century capitalism. Based on unprecendented access to the industry, including 300 hours of interviews and binders of internal documents, 'More Money Than God' provides an authoritative history of hedge funds.

Recenzje

'The best account ever published of the economics, politics and adrenalin of these amazing firms. It shows why hedge funds dominate the world of finance and why the politicians who rail against them end up making them more powerful' Anatole Kaletsky
