Joris Luyendijk was born in Amsterdam. He is a writer, journalist and author of Hello Everybody!: One Journalist's Search for Truth in the Middle East. In 2011 Luyendijk was as ignorant of a 'CDO' or any other maddening financial acronym as you or I. The Guardian asked him to look at the world of finance from a beginner's perspective and chart his learnings - the hugely popular Banking Blog was the result of this investigation. Follow him on @JLbankingblog.
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?

评分《胡作非为——人性之本与金融暴行》读书笔记 最近这段时间,股债汇金房的波动,使很多人心情都比较低落,底层如我等金融民工在这种煎熬中,有些惴惴不安,有些午夜惊醒,有些出离愤怒。我呢,大约常常是最后一种。但诚如《胡作非为——人性之本与金融暴行》一书中所写:“愤怒...
评分这本书我翻来覆去还是觉得原题目就非常合适,所以,也就继续沿用了。 本书记录了伦敦金融城的精英们的工作以及金融行业带给普罗大众的影响。作者沿用2008年金融危机为世界经济带来的影响为切入点,目标非常明确,这场金融危机是否是有这些精英们直接导致的结果。毕竟太多的人认...
评分 评分这些事实既难以想象又易于想象。其中的人,实际上也经历着金融界的路西法效应。作者的笔风严肃而幽默,笔力抑扬顿挫,又具有调查记者的严谨写实。在他笔下,这个残酷的金融世界,有可恶,也有可爱。
评分本来不喜欢这样婉婉道来的方式,但是这个首先选题确实是个很好的问题,看看局内人怎么看,然后确实很愿意跟着他一起探索下去
评分读者对于我等其他行业从业者想了解的金融界,并没作出什么化繁为简的介绍,而是从banker们的生活和伦理观入手来窥探整个金融界的畸形,和社会对于这种畸形的容忍。说实话,是挣扎着把书看完的,没什么重要信息,其实自己没必要读。
