Book description
Jason Manolopoulos lends a unique perspective, based on experience
of the global financial system, emerging markets and crises, European
politics and Greek society, to demonstrate how one of the EU's smaller
countries played a catalytic role in a crisis that threatens the
future of the euro, and possibly even of the European Union itself. He
digs beneath the headline economic data to explore the historical
legacy and psychological biases that have shaped an on-going political
drama, in a book that has profound implications for our understanding
of economics, as well as the policy choices for Europe's elite.
Jason Manolopoulos is the founder of the emerging markets, fixed
income hedge fund Dromeus Capital, based in Athens, Geneva and Kiev. He
gained his BSc (Hons) in Economics at the University of Surrey and his
MSc in Accounting and Finance at the London School of Economics and
Political Science. Manolopoulos has over a decade's experience working
in emerging markets for investment banks and asset managers, including
Barclays Capital, Merrill Lynch and Marathon Asset Management in London,
and Rosbank and Trust Investment Bank in Moscow, where he was a member
of the board and co-head of investment banking and structuring.
