The author graduated from Peking University, studied in the United States, and after several years of struggle, became a Wall Street trader. I thought I was facing a golden avenue, but unexpectedly, a sudden financial tsunami in 2008 pushed the world economy to the edge of the cliff and focused all attention on the eye of the storm - Wall Street.
"Wall Street in Chaos" uses novels as its subject matter and the author's personal experience as its basic content to present to readers this financial crisis that has never happened in a century in human history. Wall Street is a battlefield without gunpowder. The author uses municipal bonds as an entry point to take readers through the bloody turmoil of the Gilded Age, the Summer Storm, the fall of Bear Stearns, the Lehman earthquake, and the dark moments. The whole story is so compact that you can't even breathe. It's like watching a suspense drama. The storyteller peels off the cocoon and tells the story in detail, leading the readers into an unknown series of schemes. The claws of the subprime mortgage crisis spread bit by bit on Wall Street, burning down three of the five major investment banks.
The author also describes the new order, new market, and new thinking of Wall Street in the post-tsunami era, allowing readers to have a deeper understanding of today's Wall Street. The purpose is not to simply look back, but to warn of the current situation. Under the Fed's quantitative easing monetary policy, a new round of hidden dangers has been foreshadowed.
Reader comments
This book is like a fascinating suspense drama. The author takes us into the financial world of Wall Street based on his personal experience. Through municipal bonds, we saw how the subprime crisis unfolded on Wall Street. Moreover, this book is not only a review of the past, but also a warning for the present, giving us a deeper understanding of Wall Street today. I think its charm lies in "respecting common sense and respecting rules", which is very important in this rapidly changing era. Recommend!
The book talks about a lot of financial knowledge, which is very helpful for ordinary people who don't understand finance.
