13 Bankers received an excellent review by Adrien Auclert in laviedesidées.fr — excellent not only because it was positive, but because of its depth and detail (and twenty footnotes — the large majority independently researched by the author). It begins with a relatively accurate backstory, identifies the key themes of the book, and points out the weakest chapter — the last one, where we tried to come up with policy proposals that would have an impact four months after we wrote them down — all in that tone of literary seriousness characteristic of the French intelligentsia. Having spent a fair amount of time in that world a long time ago, I was tickled to see it.
