Why, despite a raft of potential international investment outlets, is a major share of global wealth and savings still impelled toward a US Wall Street-centred casino? Why has an increasingly gaping chasm crystallized between bloating global financial activities and the 'real' world economy of production and trade? This book connects the dots linking the 2008 meltdown - and over a decade of dress rehearsals for it - to a rigged financial game that is unraveling the very foundations of modernity.
