With a Foreword by Jeffrey Sprecher, CEO InterContinental Exchange and Chairman NYSE:

If you’re trying to get a handle on how technology is affecting life and markets there’s a new book to help you.

“Twenty years on from the excitement of the original fintech bestseller “Capital Market Revolution!” it’s time to look at some of those loose strands hanging around which need a spot of perspective whether you are an exchange parishioner, a fintech professional, or anybody just trying to stay abreast of where technology is now driving investments and finance.

“Victory or Death” - Blockchain, Cryptocurrency & the FinTech World is an easy read explaining the differing and diverging role of banks and exchanges, explaining the winning business models of the new world order and placing in perspective just what Bitcoin, Blockchain and cryptocurrency mean for markets. It's 70,000 words of pure play PLY pith, pacily discussing matters of moment and revisiting the original trailblazing first fintech bestseller “Capital Market Revolution!” which when published in 1999 proved, even if I say so myself: rather prescient!

It’s a binary world - your career will sustain or collapse in the next stage of the digital world, hence the title “Victory or Death” lest you need reminding of the exciting times for finance in which we are living.

Victory or Death is published by DV Books and is distributed by Ingram worldwide. Show less

The updated Capital Market Revolution!

Capital Market Revolution! was my first book and remains a fascinating period piece today.

At the time it was viewed as a radical view of the future of markets and market infrastructure, predicting the widespread death of open outcry trading on exchanges, the rise to prominence of clearing services, the move to 'for profit' exchanges, the rise of hedge funds and ETFs, the development of Single Stock Futures and many other issues (such as the birth/rise of sports/prediction markets) that… Show more
