From mere trainee to lowly geek, to triumphal Big Swinging Dick: that was Michael Lewis' pell-mell progress through the dealing rooms of Salomon Brothers in New York and London during the heady mid-1980s when they were probably the world's most powerful and profitable merchant bank.
A true-life Bonfire of the Vanities, funny, frightening, breathless and heartless, his is a tale of hysterical greed and ambition set in an obsessed, enclosed world.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
An amazing book, readable, funny and mind-boggling ... one of the great business books of all time - Punch
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 ... Read all about it: headlong greed, inarticulate obscenity, Animal House horseplay ... - The Sunday Times
Immense verve and wit - 20/20 Magazine
A highly immoral book - Daily Mail
Wickedly funny - Daily Express
As traders would say, this book is a buy - Financial Times
