"The Fault Lines of Finance draws on behavioural economics, psychology, and hard- earned experience to make the case that financial misconduct is rarely intentionally malicious; it’s a symptom of poorly designed systems.
This is a practically useful book for anyone who wants to 'do the right thing' in their financial services career."
