The one book you need to read if you want to understand the
financial world. For fans of Michael Lewis's THE BIG SHORT and
Andrew Ross Sorkin's TOO BIG TO FAIL, CRASH BANG WALLOP tells the
gripping story of the most daring financial experiment in modern
history. Big Bang was the dramatic moment in October 1986 when
London became a testing ground for a new type of global finance. It
embodied a wider revolution and the birth of a new age of fully
electronic trading, transcontinental commerce and wealth creation
on a titanic scale. Big Bang had huge repercussions not just for
the world of finance but for culture, society, attitudes to money
and value, and how ordinary people around the world lived and
worked. These changes mark the moment the modern world was born.
Published on the 30th anniversary of Big Bang, Crash Bang Wallop is
the definitive, unflinching story of what really happened during
one of the most daring and ambitious financial experiments in
history. Drawing on deep archival research and exclusive new
interviews, Iain Martin expertly charts the rich history of the
City and explores the dramatic upheavals of the '80s and their
consequences. In an afterword titled 'The Fate of the City and the
Future of Money', Martin assesses what is next for the City in the
wake of Brexit and on the eve of the next revolution in global
finance. For anyone who wants to understand money, markets or the
men and women behind it all, this timely, entertaining and
revelatory work is essential reading.
