"You fail to read
F.I.A.S.C.O. at your peril." —
Los Angeles TimesTrade Review"
F.I.A.S.C.O. is a ringside seat on the nastiest, most important game being played on Wall Street. Think of derivatives trading as a blood sport, with the unsuspecting consumer as the prey. Read this book or else…" -- Michael Lewis
"This insider's account smacks as much as
The Catcher in the Rye as of
Liar's Poker. Applies an intelligent, clinical eye to this excruciatingly complex corner of the financial world." -- New York Times
"Like
Liar's Poker, Partnoy's tale is populated with hilarious caricatures…His book goes a long way toward helping us understand what happened and preventing us from becoming 'widows and orphans' who buy these products without understanding them." -- Chicago Tribune
"Read the book
F.I.A.S.C.O., by law professor and former derivatives trader Frank Partnoy, an insider account of depravity in derivative trading at one of the biggest and best-regarded Wall Street firms. The book will turn your stomach." -- Charlie Munger
