The New York Times has dubbed Richard Bookstaber one of Wall Street’s “rocket scientists” for his timely, accurate and unapologetic observations of current economic conditions. An outspoken expert on financial reform and market behaviour, Bookstaber is the author of, A Demon of Our Own Design, which highlighted numerous financial weaknesses that led to the recent economic crisis. He regularly testifies in the House and Senate, calling for greater regulation on Wall Street.
Bookstaber has a long and distinguished career in hedge funds, risk management and investment banking. He has worked for Bridgewater Associates, run the Quantitative Equity Fund at FrontPoint Partners, and was in charge of risk management at Moore Capital Management. Bookstaber worked at Ziff Brothers Investments, handling both risk management and running a quantitative equity portfolio. He served as the managing director for firm-wide risk management at Salomon Brothers, in addition to becoming a member of Salomon's powerful Risk Management Committee. Bookstaber also spent ten years at Morgan Stanley in a number of capacities including designing and marketing derivative instruments, proprietary trading, and as Morgan Stanley’s first market-risk manager.
In addition to his book, A Demon of Our Own Design, Bookstaber is the author of three other books, and scores of articles on finance topics ranging from option theory to risk management. A Demon of Our Own Design has become one of the most-respected books in financial circles, and has been 1 on Amazon in finance and selected as a finalist for the prestigious Loeb Award.

Murray Award from the Institute for Quantitative Research in Finance for his research, and was named to the 2009 Conde Nast Portfolio list of top 25 technical innovators, joining the ranks of Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Jeffrey Katzenberg and Eric Schmidt.
