Financial Derivatives have long been the subject of conflicting
views. For some, they are a useful instrument, too often maligned
by those who do not understand them; for others, they are a
complete waste of time and money. But which is it? Should we
embrace financial derivatives, or fear them? In Financial
Derivatives: A Blessing or a Curse? Simon Grima and Eleftherios I.
Thalassinos rigorously explore the theory and debates surrounding
this controversial topic. First exploring the perceived problems
and the uses of derivatives, they study and evaluate the people who
use financial derivatives; the impacts of derivatives use; and
examples of safe use of derivatives. Looking at real-world
examples, Grima and Thalassinos include public case studies on
financial firms such as Barings Bank PLC, Allied Irish Bank, and
Societe Generale, as well as non-financial firms including
Metallgesellschaft AG and Enron. Through these case studies, the
roots of firm failure and large losses become clear, asking whether
it is the misuse of this financial instrument, rather than the
derivatives instrument itself, that is the cause. For students and
researchers in finance, or practitioners involved in trading,
regulating, or auditing, this is a fundamental text exploring a
controversial and relevant concept.
