WHY AREN’T THEY SHOUTING?: HOW COMPUTERS ATE BANKING
Book ID/图书代码： 00200015B78153
English Summary/英文概要： We’re all familiar with the screaming headlines: greedy bankers destroyed banking. But is it really as simple as that? Kevin Rodgers has his doubts, and in this fascinating inside account of the financial world over the past three decades, he explains why. Taking us from the days when traders still shouted their deals down the phone to the silent modern world of computer trading, he shows how, far more than the pursuit of personal gain, it has been the pursuit of ever-more sophisticated systems, algorithms and financial models that has undermined banking and made it chronically unstable. He also shows how, by their very nature, the computers on which modern finance now so completely depend are hopelessly ill-equipped to forestall a future crash. Both a very personal and evocative account of how banking has changed since the 1980s, and a masterclass in how it actually works, Why Aren’t They Shouting also offers a nuanced, if alarming, glimpse into its likely future.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 我们对这样耸人听闻的头条都很熟悉——贪婪的银行家毁掉了银行业。但事实真的这么简单吗？Kevin Rodgers对此提出了异议。在这部详细讲述过去30年间金融世界内部运作的作品中，他向读者解释了个中缘由。本书带我们回顾了从交易员对着电话大声谈论交易的日子到通过电脑安静地进行交易的现代世界的过程。他指出，不同于以往对个人所得的追求，现在银行业把重心放在了更完善的系统、算法和金融模型之上，因此对银行业造成了破坏并使其长期处于不稳定的状态。他还指出，现代金融业赖以生存的电脑存在无法解决的缺陷，势必无法阻止未来的金融崩盘。本书以非常个人和具有争议性的视角描述了20世纪80年代以来银行业的改变，并出色地说明了银行业的运作机理，同时让读者得以一窥银行业的未来。(LYR)
