A dollar today is worth only about half as many yen as it was a decade ago. And the Japanese, who broke into the American market by selling bargain-priced goods, are now buying up American companies ad real estate at bargain-basement prices. What happened? And who's pulling the strings? The answers lie largely in the arcane world of foreign exchange, an arena where a global elite determines the relative values of world currencies - and hence the worth every countries goods, services, and capital on the world market. In The Money Bazaar Andrew Krieger explains how money moves at almost inconceivable speeds, piercing national borders with near impunity, and affecting the worth of every coin and dollar in your pocket. He describes how currency trading works today, its ubiquitous effect on consumers and corporations alike. He illustrates his absorbing tale with anecdotes and strategies and tactics from his own remarkable trading career.
'Andrew Krieger has written a remarkably compelling and insightful book about the inner workings of the foreign-exchange market. The Money Bazaar is absorbing and indispensable' Joseph Cambria, Senior Vice-President, Foreign Exchange Manager, Banque Paribas, New York City 'Everyone can learn something from The Money Bazaar about tenuous system that links the prices and production of goods in America with what happens in Japan or Germany or Australia. If nothing else, Krieger's hair-raising opening scenario is worth the price of the book' Carl B. Weinberg, Chief Economist, High Frequency Economics
