LIARS POKER - MICHAEL LEWIS KARTONIERT (TB)

*THE OUTRAGEOUS INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER*    The classic insider's account of an era of greed 
folly and outrageous fortune in London and New York  by the author of The Big Short and Flash
Boys .    'The funniest book on Wall Street I've ever read.' Tom Wolfe   __________    The time
was the 1980s. The place was Wall Street. The game was called Liar's Poker.   Michael Lewis was
fresh out of Princeton and the London School of Economics when he landed a job at Salomon
Brothers  one of Wall Street's premier investment firms. During the next three years  Lewis
rose from callow trainee to bond salesman  raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a
modern-day gold rush.  From mere trainee to lowly geek  to triumphal Big Swinging Dick: that
was Michael Lewis's pell-mell progress through the dealing rooms of Salomon Brothers in New
York and London during the heady mid-80s when they were probably the world's most powerful and
profitable merchant bank.  Funny  frightening  breathless and heartless  Liar's Poker is the
original story of hysterical greed and excessive ambition  one that is now more potent and
enthralling than ever.  __________    'So memorable and alive . . . one of those rare works
that encapsulate and define an era.' Fortune    '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.'
