Торговая игра: признание Гэри Стивенсон

The Trading Game: A Confession

` An unforgettable story of greed, financial madness and moral decay` Rory Stewart` Hilarious, shocking and deeply sad - often in the same sentence` Sunday Times `The Wolf of Wall Street with a moral compass` Irvine WelshAn outrageous, white-knuckle journey to the dark heart of an intoxicating world - from someone who survived the trading game and then blew it all wide open ` If you were gonna rob a bank, and you saw the vault door there, left open , what would you do ? Would you wait around?Ever since he was a kid , kicking broken footballs on the streets of East London in the shadow of Canary Wharf`s skyscrapers, Gary wanted something better. Something a whole lot bigger.Then he won a competition run by a bank: `The Trading Game`. The prize: a golden ticket to a new life , as the youngest trader in the whole city . A place where you could make more money than you`d ever imagined. Where your colleagues are dysfunctional maths geniuses, overfed public schoolboys and borderline psychopaths, yet they start to feel like family. Where soon you`re the bank`s most profitable trader, dealing in nearly a trillion dollars. A day. Where you dream of numbers in your sleep - and then stop sleeping at all . But what happens when winning starts to feel like losing? When the easiest way to make money is to bet on millions becoming poorer and poorer - and , as the economy starts slipping off a precipice, your own sanity starts slipping with it ? You want to stop , but you can . Because nobody ever leaves.Would you stick, or quit? Even if it meant risking everything?
