具體描述
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?
著者簡介
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.

評分《胡作非为》：揭开金色铁幕不为人知的秘密 金融的铁幕远比我们想象的要壁垒森严。而且，这个铁幕还是镀着一层金色的光泽，看上去，那一层反光，就足以让人眼花缭乱，目炫神迷。马克•吐温有一部小说《镀金时代》比较形象地点出了这种表面光鲜、内部黑暗时代的表里特征。正...
評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...

評分用戶評價
讀者對於我等其他行業從業者想瞭解的金融界，並沒作齣什麼化繁為簡的介紹，而是從banker們的生活和倫理觀入手來窺探整個金融界的畸形，和社會對於這種畸形的容忍。說實話，是掙紮著把書看完的，沒什麼重要信息，其實自己沒必要讀。
评分本來不喜歡這樣婉婉道來的方式，但是這個首先選題確實是個很好的問題，看看局內人怎麼看，然後確實很願意跟著他一起探索下去
评分這些事實既難以想象又易於想象。其中的人，實際上也經曆著金融界的路西法效應。作者的筆風嚴肅而幽默，筆力抑揚頓挫，又具有調查記者的嚴謹寫實。在他筆下，這個殘酷的金融世界，有可惡，也有可愛。
