Synopsis
Joris Luyendijk, an investigative journalist, knew as much about banking as the average person: almost nothing. Bankers, he thought, were ruthless, competitive, bonus-obsessed sharks, irrelevant to his life. And then he was assigned to investigate the financial sector. Joris immersed himself in the City for a few years, speaking to over 200 people - from the competitive investment bankers and elite hedge-fund managers to downtrodden back-office staff, reviled HR managers and those made redundant in the regular 'culls'. Breaking the strictly imposed code of secrecy and silence, these insiders talked to Joris about what they actually do all day, how they see themselves and what makes them tick. They opened up about the toxic hiring and firing culture. They confessed to being overwhelmed by technological and mathematical opacity. They admitted that when Lehman Brothers went down in 2008 they hoarded food, put their money in gold and prepared to evacuate their children to the countryside. They agreed that nothing has changed since the crash. Joris had a chilling realisation. What if the bankers themselves aren't the real enemy? What if the truth about global finance is more sinister than that?

Entre tiburones una temporada en el infierno de las finanzas
Seller: Imosver, PONTECALDELAS, Spain
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Nuevo. El antropólogo y periodista Joris Luyendijk sabía tanto como cualquier hijo de vecino sobre los misterios de la actividad financiera: apenas un par de tópicos. Los banqueros eran para él unos tiburones que urden siniestras intrigas en un mundo felizmente ajeno al nuestro. Hasta que le encargaron explorar las aguas del dinero. Pertrechado con los instrumentos de las ciencias sociales y el olfato de un sabueso, nuestro audaz investigador se arrojó sin miedo al tanque de los escualos, también conocido como City londinense. Durante dos años de inmersión conversó con ejecutivos y secretarias, con entusiastas y escépticos, con triunfadores y derrotados; interrogó a agentes de bolsa, especuladores, informáticos, contables y relaciones públicas: más de doscientos individuos que (a menudo sin advertirlo) rompieron el código de silencio para sacar a la luz las entrañas de la fiera.
