Joris Luyendijk on the fear of staff in the Banking sector: You just don't talk about the Fightclub!
Last week, Joris Luyendijk gave an interesting bookpresentation about his bestseller 'Swimming with Sharks' at the Stockholm Business School. Joris, an antropologist / journalist, described his travel through the financial world in a way no one has done before. His professional background as well as being Dutch made him an 'outsider enough' for insiders to share their real thoughts and experiences. This is pretty unique as the whole financial systems is run by deep fear and you have been made clear to spilling information will ruin your career, even after you have left the bank. You just 'don't talk about fightclub!'

Overall, the problem does not seem to concern individuals but seems is rather the system itself. With the top of the banking industry still not being personally liable and for example with loyalty and morality working against you, we can only expect more scandals to come.

The lively discussion after his presentation made it clear how complex the situation is, with a powerful sector that influences our society more than we think. If you are interested in knowing more, please keep an eye out on the event in Göteborg at the Bokmässan on the 23rd of September, and of course you can buy the book of Joris at the bookshop.
