Money, capital markets, brain drains, direct democracy, corruption, crime and gold are woven together with skill to produce a stunningly original picture of the world.

You can dam the force of finance to change the direction of the river, but sooner or later, one way or another, the water will get to the sea.Click Here to see more reviews about: Force of Finance: Triumph of the Capital Markets (Hardcover)
