They argue that the financial world can be seen as an ecosystem in which the provider of financial services acts as a financial predator and the client as prey. This way of describing the financial world may provide further explanations as to why financial crises happen. The authors propose possible solutions to limit financial fraud.TOPICS: Financial crises and financial market history, risk management
