Hugely topical, informative and entertaining, this book should attract wide media attention. An exciting general read for fans of Barbarians at the Gate, The Snowball or Liars' Poker

'The best account ever published of the economics, politics and adrenalin of these amazing firms. It shows why hedge funds dominate the world of finance and why the politicians who rail against them end up making them more powerful' Anatole Kaletsky Praise for The World's Banker: Mallaby's book may well be the most hilarious depiction of a big organization and its controversial boss since Michael Lewis's Liars' Poker Financial Times
