＜p＞＜strong＞SHORT-LISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR＜/strong＞＜/p＞
＜p＞＜strong＞The term “Libor” is obscure, but it determines a good deal of our financial lives-the interest rate on our credit card; our student loans; our mortgages; our car payments. How did a math genius, a handful of outrageous confederates, and a deeply corrupt banking system conspire to pickpocket you? They were in your wallet to already.＜/strong＞＜/p＞
＜p＞In 2006, an oddball group of bankers, traders and brokers from some of the world’s largest financial institutions made a startling realization: Liborーthe London interbank offered rate, which determines interest rates on trillions in loans worldwideーwas set daily by a small group of easily manipulated functionaries.＜/p＞
＜p＞Tom Hayes, a brilliant but troubled mathematician, became the lynchpin of a shadowy team that used hook and crook to take over the process and set rates that made them a fortune, no matter the cost to others. Among the motley crew was a French trader nicknamed “Gollum”; the broker “Abbo,” who liked to publicly strip naked when drinking; a Kazakh chicken farmer turned something short of financial whiz kid; an executive called “Clumpy” because of his patchwork hair loss; and a broker uncreatively nicknamed “Big Nose.” Eventually known as the “Spider Network,” Hayes’s circle generated untold riches ーuntil it all unraveled in spectacularly vicious, backstabbing fashion.＜/p＞
＜p＞*Praised as reading “*like a fast-paced John le Carr? thriller” (＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞), “compelling” (＜em＞Washington Post＜/em＞)and “jaw-dropping” (＜em＞Financial Times＜/em＞),
＜em＞The Spider Network＜/em＞ is not only a rollicking account of the scam, but a provocative examination of a financial system that was warped and shady throughout.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
