Die Struktur dieser Finanzprodukte wird jedoch zunehmend komplexer; die Beträge werden immer höher. Derivate wurden häufig als die großen Übeltäter identifiziert, die für viele der wohl bekanntesten Finanzkatastrophen, einschließlich der Barings Bank- und ERM Krise, verantwortlich waren. Dies ist die neue, komplett überarbeitete und aktualisierte Broschurausgabe von \"Derivatives: The Wild Beast of Finance\". Der Inhalt wurde komprimiert und um einige der komplexeren Themen gekürzt. Dadurch wurde diese Ausgabe für Anleger und Finanzinteressierte verständlicher. Steinherr vertritt hier die Ansicht, daß Derivate - wenn man umsichtig vorgeht - ein wirksames und durchaus akzeptables Anlagemittel sind. Darüber hinaus sind sie ideal geeignet, um effektives Risikomanagement in globalen Märkten zu gewährleisten und mögliche Finanzkatastrophen einzudämmen.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface to the Revised Paperback Edition\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e
