{"product_id":"9781915590497","title":"Chaos Kings : how Wall Street traders make billions in the new age of crisis","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor fans of The Black Swan and written by a veteran Wall Street Journal reporter, this is a fascinating deep dive into the world of billion-dollar traders and high-stakes crisis predictors who strive to turn extreme events into financial windfalls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere's no doubt that our world has gotten more extreme. Pandemics, climate change, superpower rivalries, technological disruption, political radicalisation, religious fundamentalism — all threaten chaos that put trillions in assets at risk. But around the world, across a wide variety of disciplines, would-be super-forecasters are trying to take the guesswork out of what formerly seemed like random chance. Some put their faith in 'black swans' — unpredictable, catastrophic events that can't be foreseen but send exotic financial instruments screaming in high-profit directions. Most famous among this group of big-bet traders are those who run the Universa fund, who, on days of extreme upheaval, have made as much as $1 billion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor Scott Patterson gained exclusive access to Universa strategists and met with savvy seers in a variety of fields, from earthquake prediction to counterterrorism to climatology, to see if it's actually possible to bet on disaster — and win. Riveting, relevant, and revelatory, this is a must-read for anyone curious about how some of today's investors alchemise catastrophe into profit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scribe Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52919538450741,"sku":"EB_BM0800_H06-05_AD","price":106.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/7773\/1381\/files\/9781915590497-1.jpg?v=1789409481","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.ae\/products\/9781915590497","provider":"Books Kinokuniya UAE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
