Liar's Poker (Norton Paperback)
- Great product!
The time was the 1980s. The place was Wall Street. The game was called Liarâ‚¬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 Streetâ‚¬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.

Liarâ‚¬s Poker is the culmination of those heady, frenzied yearsâ‚¬"a behind-the-scenes look at a unique and turbulent time in American business. From the frat-boy camaraderie of the forty-first-floor trading room to the killer instinct that made ambitious young men gamble everything on a high-stakes game of bluffing and deception, here is Michael Lewisâ‚¬s knowing and hilarious insiderâ‚¬s account of an unprecedented era of greed, gluttony, and outrageous fortune.
