Satyajit Das is an internationally respected expert in finance, with 33 years’ experience. He worked for the "sell side" (banks such as Citicorp Investment Bank and Merrill Lynch), the “buy side” (Treasurer of the TNT Group) and acted as a consultant advising banks, investors, corporations and central banks throughout the world. He has been within touching distance of many of the pivotal events in finance during his long career.
Das is the author of many highly regarded books on derivatives and risk management, which are regarded as standard reference works for professional traders.
In 2006, he published the international bestseller Traders, Guns & Money: Knowns and Unknowns in the Dazzling World of Derivatives, a satirical insider's account of derivatives trading. The Financial Times described it as explaining “not only the high-minded theory behind the business and its various products but the sometimes sordid reality of the industry”.
In Traders and a series of 2006 speeches -The Coming Credit Crash - he provided a highly prescient insight into the structure and risk of the world financial system exposing the problems that subsequently became apparent. Das has continued to offer insights into what caused the world financial system to collapse, how the crisis will work through the global economy and what the world will look like afterwards.
He was featured in Charles Ferguson’s 2010 highly regarded documentary Inside Job and a 2009 BBC TV documentary – Tricks with Risk.
His latest book is Extreme Money: Masters of the Universe and the Cult of Risk (2011) described by Nouriel Roubini as: “A true insider’s devastating analysis of the financial alchemy of the last 30 years and its destructive consequences. With his intimate first-hand knowledge, Das takes a knife to global finance and financiers to reveal its inner workings without fear or favour.” |
