One of those books you read and shakes you to the core. It is remarkable how the research in this small, yet incredibly detailed book, is critical to understanding contemporary markets and social relations. I have been reading books on derivatives and contracts and this book has been cited in all of them, and now I understand why. Must read, for everyone really.
