Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis

3.0

Review:

It’s the 1980s. Michael Lewis a bonds trader at Salomon Brothers writes about the his experience starting from his first day the company. He talks about the company culture, his colleagues, some of the key executives in the company. He describes the 41st trading floor at Salomon Brothers and how everyone interacted with each other. he gives a little history of how mortgages became ridiculously profitable in the 1980s, how young traders at the beginning of their careers were making seven figures salaries on Wall Street and how all of that came to an end by the late 1980s.

It is an interesting memoir but it is also boring at times. I feel like Michael keeps repeating some of the stuff over and over again.
