HBO’s ‘Industry’ Creators on Banking Culture, Risk, Fraud and Short Selling
Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, former bankers and co-creators of HBO’s financial television drama “Industry,” join WSJ’s Take On the Week to unpack the blurred lines between high-stakes finance and drama. The duo explains why the show’s fourth season shifts its focus to fintech, short selling, and the "cult of personality" behind fraud. Plus, they discuss the real-world toll of 100-hour workweeks on junior bankers and how a new generation of nihilistic traders is reshaping market risk. Photo: WSJ
