The last 20 years have witnessed a revolution in international finance. From old investment tools such as futures and options, currency traders have developed new derivatives markets with awesome powers. This book paints a picture of this extraordinary world, in which over a trillion dollars are traded daily - more than the value of all the commodities and manufactures traded in the so-called "real" economy.
