Satyajit Das is an internationally respected expert in finance, with over 37 years’ experience. Das presciently anticipated many aspects of the global financial crisis in 2006.

In 2014 Bloomberg nominated him as one of the fifty most influential financial thinkers in the world.

Das is the author of a number of key reference works on derivatives and risk management. Das is the author of two international bestsellers, Traders, Guns & Money (2006) and Extreme Money (2011). His latest book is A Banquet of Consequences: Have We Consumed Our Own Future? (2015 & 2021)

He was featured in Charles Ferguson’s 2010 Oscar-winning documentary Inside Job, the 2012 PBS Frontline series Money, Power & Wall Street, the 2009 BBC TV documentary Tricks with Risk, and the 2015 German film Who’s Saving Whom.
