A memoir about Michael Lewis’s time as a bond salesman at Salomon Brothers in the 1980s. The book reveals how Salomon pioneered many of Wall Street’s most lucrative products while fostering a ruthless, ego-driven culture fueled by money and excess. Lewis offers an insider’s view of how Paul Volcker’s policies turned bond markets into casino-like arenas, defining the Gordon Gekko “greed is good” era of finance.
