Moral hazard
Jennings, Kate, 1948-2015
Book
Wall Street in the mid-1990s: the recession is over and finance companies are gearing up for the next boom. Cath - wisecracking Australian-born 'bedrock feminist, unreconstructed left-winger' - has given up freelance writing for corporate life at one of the big investment banks. Her husband, Bailey, has Alzheimer's, and they need serious money. For seven years Cath lives in two worlds, both of them mad. By day she grapples with the twisted logic and outsized egos of high finance. By night she witnesses the inexorable decline of the man she loves as, ravaged by disease, he is 'reduced to a nub'.
