Description
No. 1 Sunday Times Bestseller
Nominated for Financial Times Business Book of the Year
A miniseries based on the book is in preparation
Even as a boy kicking a worn-out ball in the streets of East London, Gary Stevenson dreamed of something big. Then he participated in a math competition called the business game. The prize? A ticket to a new life. Gary became the youngest trader at Citibank, one of the largest financial institutions in the world, and against all odds, he soon closed deals worth billions of dollars. Daily. But it was 2008, and Gary was profiting by betting that millions of people would become poorer – millions of people like those he grew up with. The Business Game is a shocking, unvarnished, thrilling testimony to the dark corners of the intoxicating world of traders from someone who survived the game.
"An incredibly important book arriving at the right time... something like The Wolf of Wall Street with a moral compass, revealing the spiritual emptiness of the systems and processes that control us and limit our humanity."
Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting
