About this product

Product Information

'Endlessly witty, but the wit is underpinned by a tremendous, unembarrassed anger and moral lucidity. A superb guide which will turn any reader into an expert within the space of 200 pages' Jonathan Coe 'Endlessly witty, but the wit is underpinned by a tremendous, unembarrassed anger and moral lucidity. A superb guide which will turn any reader into an expert within the space of 200 pages' Jonathan Coe We are, to use a technical economic term, screwed. The cowboy capitalists had a party with everyone's money and now we're all paying for it. What went wrong? And will we learn our lesson - or just carry on as before, like celebrating surviving a heart attack with a packet of Rothmans? If you want to know, but are the sort of person who finds it hard to tell the difference between a CDO a CDS an MBS and a toasted cheese sandwich, John Lanchester has mastered the finer points of finance so you don't have to. In Whoops! he explains, in language everyone can understand, what really happened - and what on earth we do next. John Lanchester is a journalist, novelist and winner of the Whitbread First Novel Award. He is a regular contributor to the London Review of Books and the New Yorker, with a monthly column in Esquire. John's piece on our love affair with the City, 'Cityphilia', generated much response on its publication in January 2008 and indeed predicted a worldwide crash based on the misuse of financial derivatives. In October 2008 he charted the crisis as it had developed over the year in 'Cityphobia', which also attracted much attention as a piece that explained not only what had happened, but how we felt about it. John was raised in South-East Asia and now lives in London

  • A very readible account of why we are in the mess that we are.

    You simply can't escape the gloomy news about the world economy. But just what exactly are derivatives, toxic debt, collateralized debt obligations and how could the bankers, politicians and ourselves allow this mess to develop? Well read this and you will get a very good idea of what and how. Don't worry, it's no textbook and reads a little like a novel. Highly recommended: a 5-star read.

  • Really good - well worth the read

    This is a really interesting book, very well written and explains the current financial crisis really well. Aimed at non-financial types - hedge fund managers need not read it!

  • A must read for every adult.

    Shame it's not a novel ... but if you're still trying to understand the economic crisis we're currently in, this is the book for you.
