Publisher Description
The classic warts-and-all portrait of the 1980s financial scene.
The 1980s was the most outrageous and turbulent era in the financial market since the crash of '29, not only on Wall Street but around the world. Michael Lewis, as a trainee at Salomon Brothers in New York and as an investment banker and later financial journalist, was uniquely positioned to chronicle the ambition and folly that fueled the decade.

Laughing into Insight
First, just finished this book two days ago, and it is a page-turning barn burner for those interested in the inner workings of finance. I feel however, that people become disillusioned expecting a typical Michael Lewis book. This is a collection of news paper articles that he wrote mostly in the early nineties. There's no central theme except that the world of finance is a house of cards beyond anyone's wildest imagination. Enjoy.
