Sobre IBD

Bad Banks is a gripping account of the problems and scandals that continue to bedevil the world’s banking system some eight years after the credit crunch. It follows the fortunes and misfortunes of individual banks from RBS to Lloyds. It exposes instances of mis-selling money laundering interest rate fixing and incompetence. And it considers the bigger picture: how the failings of the world’s banking system are threatening to undermine our future economic security. Alex Brummer the City Editor of the Daily Mail has had access to all the major players from HBOS’s Andy Hornby to former Governor of the Bank of England Sir Mervyn King to the ex-Chief Executive of Barclays Bob Diamond to Lloyds’ Ant nio Horta-Os rio. His book is an insightful - and terrifying - account of institutions once renowned for their probity but now all too often a byword for incompetence and worse.
