Description

The original classic that revealed the truth about ambition, greed and excess in London and Wall Street, by the author of bestsellers THE BIG SHORT and THE PREMONITION.
__________

The time was the 1980s. The place was Wall Street. The game was called Liar s Poker.

Michael Lewis was fresh out of Princeton and the London School of Economics when he landed a job at Salomon Brothers, one of Wall Street s premier investment firms. During the next three years, Lewis rose from callow trainee to bond salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold rush.

From mere trainee to lowly geek, to triumphal Big Swinging Dick: that was Michael Lewis s pell-mell progress through the dealing rooms of Salomon Brothers in New York and London during the heady mid-80s when they were probably the world s most powerful and profitable merchant bank.

Funny, frightening, breathless and heartless, Liar s Poker is the original story of hysterical greed and excessive ambition, one that is now more potent and enthralling than ever.
__________

If you thought Gordon Gekko of the Wall Street movie was an implausibly corrupt piece of fiction, see how you like the real thing. This rip-the-lid-off account of the bond-dealing brouhaha is the work of a real-life bond salesman. The Sunday Times

So memorable and alive . . . one of those rare works that encapsulate and define an era. Fortune

The funniest book on Wall Street I ve ever read. Tom Wolfe

Wickedly funny Daily Express

Hilarious New York Times
