Playing with the adults (Secrets of the world of money and causes of the crisis)

Author's name: Joris Lundekdar Publisher: Al-Arabi for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2019 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: "Joris Lundek" a journalist investigator. He received one day a call from the editor-in-chief of The Guardian English newspaper, and the reason? Uncovering secrets of the world of money, and revealing the causes of the global economic crisis. He was chosen among many because he simply does not know anything about the world of money, so he will succeed in presenting this world to readers like him who do not understand it. At first - as everyone thinks - he thought that everyone working in banks and the stock exchange are harsh, always competing, and looking down on ordinary people. Thus, "Joris" immersed himself in the "Money District" of London, the "Square Mile," for a long time, and conducted many secret interviews with more than 200 people, starting from investment bank employees, junior staff in back offices, and even the elite managers of large banks and the hated fund managers by everyone. They spoke with "Joris" bypassing the secrecy, mystery, and silence that dominated their world. They told him about the nature of their work, and about the toxic hiring and firing policies that threaten their stability. They admitted to him that when the crisis occurred in 2008, they stored food, converted their money into gold, and prepared to move their children to the countryside. By the end of the book, "Joris" reaches a frightening conclusion: what if these are not the real enemies? What if the reality of the world of money is more evil than this? The world of banks is much bigger than the circle of deal-makers and traders, who dominate the mental image in the minds of the general public. This is my message to the readers, as well as to my family and friends, who apparently believe that I am the cause of the financial crisis and that I am seeking a huge financial reward.
