ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis offers a captivating glimpse into the high-octane world of Wall Street in the 1980s through the eyes of a former Salomon Brothers bond salesman. The narrative plunges into the intense and often absurd culture of the trading floor, where fortunes were made and lost in an instant. The book vividly depicts the ambitious young traders driven by the pursuit of wealth and status, navigating a hyper-competitive environment. The game of Liar's Poker serves as a recurring motif, highlighting the bluffs, risks, and psychological battles inherent in bond trading. Lewis explores themes of greed, risk-taking, and the unique, often cutthroat, culture that defined this era of financial excess.
