My financial (products and services) knowledge (both in terms of vocabulary and understanding of methods, tools and operations) is vastly greater for having listened. Having read many financial services books and histories, here I feel it all gelled, to where I can understand enterprise-wide how a bank navigates its environments and manages its units and products. Here also my understanding of financial regulations and regulators, their aims and parts, seems to have hit a point of fluency. Financial instruments are much better understood (for their upsides and downsides) when held up to this prism of risks. The costs and benefits of insurance and of various hedges are intelligently approached. This book ties together a lot of themes, histories and terms I haven't seen elsewhere (with this depth and thoroughness) in one place. It gives an English-language walk-through of what might otherwise, if too math-confined, cause many a manager to glaze over.
Risk reminds me of the old apocryphal story of Eskimos (as they used to be called) having a vast number of names for snow. Risk is multi-hued, nuanced, and everywhere. This book goes through more variants of it (with names for each) than I've seen anywhere.
Another reviewer noted the absence of a supplemental file, and the book does refer fairly frequently to charts and tables and such. I have a print copy of this book, and can refer to these materials. However, I do the vast majority of my listening to this book while hiking outdoors, and I find the flow of descriptions adequate for me, without the supplemental materials at hand. That said, this omission of a pdf will be significant for many readers. It is a bad oversight. If I needed to use and recognize these charts and tables at work, I would want to see them and get accustomed to them. But it is such a good book, I still rate it highly.
Broad, deep, thorough, insightful tour

Extremly valuable and eye opening work!

What's more, the book indicated that it was about risk management, but seemed to be focused almost entirely on the financial industry. For anyone not in the financial industry or looking to enter it, this book will add little of value.
