Rogue Trader

Author: Leeson, NickBrand: SphereEdition: Updated ed.Binding: PaperbackNumber Of Pages: 384Release Date: 02-08-2016Part Number: Section: 16, B&WDetails: When Leeson was arrested in 1995 for bringing Barings Bank to its knees, it initially seemed as if he had single-handedly crushed the company. Indeed, it was he alone who found himself in the dark confines of a Singapore jail, from where he wrote Rogue Trader. Now updated for the twentieth anniversary of the collapse of Barings, this is his story of a broken system; of a cast of characters blind to anything but profits - whatever the cost. Leeson's tale of boom and bust is an important reminder of the immense power the banking system held and, worryingly, still holds.EAN: 9780751563399Package Dimensions: 7.8 x 5.0 x 1.2 inchesLanguages: English
