About the book
Michael Lewis offers an irreverent, inside account of the fixed-income securities industry on Wall Street during the 1980s. Combining memories of his experiences as a trader with profiles of legendary and infamous characters, the book exposes the greed, cynicism, and destructive creativity that drive financial markets.
With sharp humor and engaging narrative, Lewis portrays the free-for-all of an industry that profits from risky financial innovation. A seminal work that revealed to the general public how the financial elite really operates.
