Epic in its scope, Extreme Money reveals how we have all become slaves to our own illusory, unsustainable creation- global finance.

The bestselling author on how money and finance enslaved the world.

The human race created money and finance. But our inventions re-create us. Mankind mistook money - a lubricant of society and human well-being - for an end in itself. Finance, the monetary shadow of real things, came to dominate human reality. Extreme Money tells the story of how this happened - and, in so doing, it tells the story of the modern world.

Bestselling author Satyajit Das draws on over thirty years of personal experience at the heart of modern global finance to narrate this story. Das reveals the spectacular, dangerous money games that have generated increasingly massive bubbles of fake growth, Ponzi prosperity, sophistication, and wealth - while endangering the jobs, possessions, and futures of virtually everyone outside the financial industry.

Epic in its scope, Extreme Money reveals how we have all become slaves to our own illusory, unsustainable creation- global finance.
