格雷格·史密斯,高盛公司驻伦敦的执行董事,2012年在《纽约时报》发表的专栏文章 “我为什么离开高盛”, 吸引超过300万人阅读。格雷格·史密斯于2012年从高盛辞职,当时他是负责高盛在欧洲、中东和非洲的美国金融衍生品的主管。他生于南非约翰内斯堡并在那里长大,毕业于美国斯坦福大学,2001年成为高盛的正式员工。工作的头10年,他在高盛纽约总部工作。目前定居纽约。
On March 14, 2012, more than three million people read Greg Smith's bombshell Op-Ed in the New York Times titled "Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs." The column immediately went viral, became a worldwide trending topic on Twitter, and drew passionate responses from former Fed chairman Paul Volcker, legendary General Electric CEO Jack Welch, and New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg. Mostly, though, it hit a nerve among the general public who question the role of Wall Street in society -- and the callous "take-the-money-and-run" mentality that brought the world economy to its knees a few short years ago. Smith now picks up where his Op-Ed left off.
His story begins in the summer of 2000, when an idealistic 21-year-old arrives as an intern at Goldman Sachs and learns about the firm's Business Principle #1: Our clients' interests always come first. This remains Smith's mantra as he rises from intern to analyst to sales trader, with clients controlling assets of more than a trillion dollars.
From the shenanigans of his summer internship during the technology bubble to Las Vegas hot tubs and the excesses of the real estate boom; from the career lifeline he received from an NFL Hall of Famer during the bear market to the day Warren Buffett came to save Goldman Sachs from extinction-Smith will take the reader on his personal journey through the firm, and bring us inside the world's most powerful bank.
Smith describes in page-turning detail how the most storied investment bank on Wall Street went from taking iconic companies like Ford, Sears, and Microsoft public to becoming a "vampire squid" that referred to its clients as "muppets" and paid the government a record half-billion dollars to settle SEC charges. He shows the evolution of Wall Street into an industry riddled with conflicts of interest and a profit-at-all-costs mentality: a perfectly rigged game at the expense of the economy and the society at large.
After conversations with nine Goldman Sachs partners over a twelve-month period proved fruitless, Smith came to believe that the only way the system would ever change was for an insider to finally speak out publicly. He walked away from his career and took matters into his own hands. This is his story.

评分看《我为什么离开高盛》这本书时,本来没抱太大期望,觉得不过是一本像《阿里传》这样的软文书籍,变相讲讲自己企业有多好,多金光闪闪。 但看到后半本的时候,发现不是如此。 作者开始细致地描写自己的失望和反思。 他供职高盛12年,忠诚、努力,像在圣殿中付出。 直到他发...
评分 评分 评分基本上是一个外籍青年在美国/高盛的奋斗史,不少卖弄的小细节和内部八卦,适合普罗大众对投行精英生活的偷窥心理,但是对于金融市场、金融产品和高盛文化的剖析值得商榷,既不够深入也不够透彻。 特别是尤其应该大书特书的最后几年所目睹的高盛的堕落过程则语焉不详,可能是所...
每个公司都说自己(招)的人the most smartest,也暗示了别公司的人dumbass,比较赞赏作者后面所说
评分作者显然是跑题了。真正表达他为何离开的段落很少......欲抑先扬得过头了
评分南非青年少壮得志,时过境迁世风日下,良知唤其批判揭露。内容细节颇为详细,令门外汉得一瞥过瘾,终不得掩又臭又长的本质。

评分A boring book written by a narrow minded person... I didn't even finish it.
