Deflated

Turning complex financial instruments such as cryptocurrency into eminently readable stories, Leng Hoe Lon, the author of Decrypted, is back with Deflated. In his second book, he lays bare the labyrinth of events that led to the manic and the tumultuous fall of cryptocurrencies in December 2018. Moving from Wall Street to Singapore, Hoe Lon tells the story of the great boom and bust in an authoritative and entertaining narrative. Featuring iconic figures of the financial era, he ties together all of the characters and offers a heart-to-heart discussion on how they have fallen and fought their way back up. Most importantly, he shares how one can fight back from deflation, "To be somebody, you must last."
