Author Erika S. Olson, a managing director at CBOT during the bidding war, delivers a blow-by-blow account of the fight for the world's oldest futures exchange, taking you inside CBOT's landmark Chicago Loop headquarters, onto the high-octane trading floor, and into executives' offices.
Through the lens of the CME/CBOT deal, Zero-Sum Game:
- Introduces the colorful and outspoken personalities who call the shots in this close-knit and frequently misunderstood industry
- Details the reasons behind the recent, spectacular growth of a market that's existed for over 160 years
- Explains how derivatives affect the lives of average consumers worldwide by influencing everything from interest rates on credit cards to the cost of a cheeseburger to the price of a gallon of gas
- Reveals the inner workings of futures exchanges, and differentiates the various types of derivatives that are routinely lumped together and vilified by the media
