Meltdown: Scandal, Sleaze and the Collapse of Credit Suisse
Duncan takes us inside the hushed corridors at Credit Suisse, detailing its secretive culture and a series of decisions that ultimately led to disaster. It is a fascinating history of one of the biggest financial institutions of our times – and a thrilling exposé of the wider financial services sector. Meltdown promises to shock as Duncan reveals a world of greed, lies and unrelenting human ambition.
Duncan started his career as a chartered accountant in the City before becoming a financial journalist. He has been a reporter and editor in London, New York and Hong Kong and his work has appeared The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. He is currently an editor for Bloomberg News based in London. Duncan is the bestselling author of Meltdown: Scandal, Sleaze and the Collapse of Credit Suisse and The Pyramid of Lies: Lex Greensill and the Billion Dollar Scandal.
"This is more than a richly detailed story about the hubris, corruption and incompetence that doomed Credit Suisse; it's a stark warning to all of us about what happens when we let bankers do what they like"
