The cubic equation \(2 x ^ { 3 } + 3 x ^ { 2 } - 5 x + 4 = 0\) has roots \(\alpha , \beta\) and \(\gamma\). By making an appropriate substitution, or otherwise, find a cubic equation with integer coefficients whose roots are \(\frac { 1 } { \alpha } , \frac { 1 } { \beta }\) and \(\frac { 1 } { \gamma }\).
