- Description
- Financial journalist Gillian Tett observes in her book - Fool's Gold, How Unrestrained Greed Corrupted a Dream, Shattered Global Markets, and Unleashed a Catastrophe - that the complexity of finance serves the purpose of the financiers well. ''When bankers talkabout derivatives, they delight in swathing the concept in complex jargon,'' she points out. The resulting opacity ''reduces scrutiny and confers power on the few with the ability to pierce the veil''.
