It was wonderful to be young and working on Wall Street in the 1980s: never had so many twenty-four-year-olds made so much money in so little time.
In this shrewd and wickedly funny audiobook, Michael Lewis describes an astonishing era and his own rake’s progress through a powerful investment bank. From an unlikely beginning (art history at Princeton?) he rose in two short years from Salomon Brothers trainee to Geek (the lowest form of life on the trading floor) to Big Swinging Dick–a bond salesman who could turn over millions of dollars’ worth of doubtful bonds with just one call.
A born storyteller, Michael Lewis shows us how things really worked on Wall Street. The bond traders, wearing greed and ambition as badges of honor, might well have swaggered straight from the pages of Bonfire of the Vanities . But for all their outrageous behavior, they were in fact presiding over enormous changes in the world economy. Lewis’s job was to transfer money, in the form of bonds, from those outside American who saved to those inside America who consumed. In doing so, he generated tens of millions of dollars for Salomon Brothers, and earned for himself a ringside seat on the greatest financial spectacle of the decade: the leveraging of America.

评分跑步的时候把有声书听了两遍，Michael Lewis真会讲故事。在书里的他自己，读书时对未来茫然无规划，为了不随波逐流读了艺术史专业，毕业时却忍不住要去搭投行迅速致富的快车。一个偶然的契机进了Salomon做了销售员，有幸得到前辈的无私帮助，懵懂无知的照搬前辈的交易，假以时日也竟成了Salomon薪酬最高的二年级销售员，颇有点武侠小说的感觉。当然作者并不傻也不荒废，业余和周末的时间都在写作，有了这份额外的收入也能冷眼看交易员、公司以及整个行业的上上下下。
