A good book that looks at what happens behind the curtains in some Derivatives departments is provided in F.I.A.S.C.O by Frank Partnoy. Maybe a little out of date, the book is an interesting and entertaining read, I definitely recommend to read! Especially read it, if you are interested to find out whether any of the bad-practices accusations brought against GoldmanSachs are feasible. I leave it to you to make up your mind, nothing is black & white!
