Frank Partnoy is a professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley and the author of four books including Wait: The Art and Science of Delay and F.I.A.S.C.O.: Blood in the Water on Wall Street. He has written for the Financial Times, the New York Times, and Portfolio.
"F.I.A.S.C.O. is a ringside seat on the nastiest, most important
game being played on Wall Street. Think of derivatives trading as a
blood sport, with the unsuspecting consumer as the prey. Read this
book or else…"
*Michael Lewis*
"This insider's account smacks as much as The Catcher in the Rye as
of Liar's Poker. Applies an intelligent, clinical eye to this
excruciatingly complex corner of the financial world."
*New York Times*
"Like Liar's Poker, Partnoy's tale is populated with hilarious
caricatures…His book goes a long way toward helping us understand
what happened and preventing us from becoming 'widows and orphans'
who buy these products without understanding them."
*Chicago Tribune*
"Read the book F.I.A.S.C.O., by law professor and former
derivatives trader Frank Partnoy, an insider account of depravity
in derivative trading at one of the biggest and best-regarded Wall
Street firms. The book will turn your stomach."
*Charlie Munger*
