Description
This is the first of three sessions on Scott Skyrm's 2023 book The Repo Market: Shorts, Shortages, and Squeezes.
https://www.amazon.com/Repo-Market-Shorts-Shortages-Squeezes/dp/1952991285/
From the description:
The Repo market is the most important market few people know about. It's a pillar of the financial system that's often misunderstood yet plays a vital role in the industry. If the financial markets are the engine that powers the economy, the Repo market is the oil that lubricates that engine.

- Drysdale and the Dawn of the Modern Repo Market
- Broker-Dealer Bankruptcies And The Beginning of Tri-Party
