«Swimming with Sharks: My Journey into the World of the Bankers» is the essay by Joris Luyendijk published by Faber & Faber in paperback (288 pp., in English).
Joris Luyendijk immersed himself in the City of London and interviewed more than 200 people from the financial sector: bankers, fund managers and office staff. Despite professional secrecy, they recounted their daily lives, the toxicity of the work culture and the opacity of finance; after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, nothing had changed.
Work originally published in Dutch as «Dit kan niet waar zijn: Onder bankiers»; winner of the Publieksprijs voor het Nederlandse Boek in 2015.
Recommended for readers interested in investigative journalism, economics and the inner workings of the City.
