  Catastrophe and the derivatives market are often associated with each other. Examples include Barings, Daiwa, Sumitomo and the National Westminster Bank. This is a book on the derivatives markets and its key players: the greed, the risk, the drama, madness, personalities, the war stories , colossal bonuses, and the terrible losses. The book shows how the world is living on the edge of an apocalyse waiting to happen - through derivatives.
