Name: Traders, Guns & Money
Rating: 5 stars

Exposes the truth of what goes on in the financial industry, in a brutally revealing manner. This is not a book written by some reporter who interviewed a couple of sources and decided they know enough to write a book; this is a book from a 30-year veteran of the industry who has seen it all and has decided, for whatever reason, to tell everyone in the world about it.

It's a strange world we live in where books like this exist and are readily available to everyone to buy, yet the mainstream thinking (and all political action) does not change at all and still goes along parroting the old tired cliche of "financial engineering" somehow being a good thing.
