Author – By: Terry Pratchett
Pratchett takes on the bankers and the financial system in the thirty-sixth Discworld novel.
‘Whoever said you can’t fool an honest man wasn’t one’
The banks are facing a crisis, and this time it’s too serious even for the old boys’ club to sort it out – this time, they’ve sunk to government intervention. But opening the vaults to public scrutiny brings a whole host of problems for those at the top: people want to know where the money’s gone, they want loans, reasonable interest rates and much much worse – accountability. The fortress of high finance is crumbling, and it may be time for a change of management – before it’s too late.
