This is a book about how we behave. Not how we think we behave, or how we'd like to behave, but how we really do. It's a story of how a collective failure of perception helped cause one of the biggest crises in the history of capitalism; of the extraordinary extremes we witnessed from the so-called Masters of the Universe - their greed, recklessness, and irrationality; and of how the crisis will happen again unless we understand that economic conditions may change but human nature does not. Released to widespread acclaim in the UK in 2011 and now updated for the USA, Masters of Nothing is an important contribution to the ongoing debate about how we fix the relationship between big finance and the real economy.
