Liar's Poker is a non-fiction, semi-autobiographical book by Michael Lewis describing the author's experiences as a bond salesman on Wall Street during the late 1980s. First published in 1989, it is considered one of the books that define Wall Street during the 1980s, along with Barbarians at the Gate and the fictional The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe. The book captures well an important period in the history of Wall Street. Two important figres in that history feature prominantly in the text, head of mortgage department Lewie Ranieri and firm CEO John Gutfreund.
The book's name is taken from Liar's poker, a gambling game popular with the bond traders in the book and played for high stakes.
Liar's Poker follows two different story threads, though not necessarily in chronological order.
The first thread is autobiographical, and follows Lewis through his college education and his hiring by Salomon Brothers in 1984. This part of the book gives a first-person account of how bond traders and salesmen truly work, their personalities, and their culture. The book captures well an important period in the history of Wall Street. Two important figures in that history feature prominently in the text, head of mortgage department Lewie Ranieri and firm CEO John Gutfreund.
The second thread is a sort of history of Salomon Brothers and overview of Wall Street in general, especially how the firm single-handedly created a market for mortgage bonds and made the firm wealthy, only to be outdone by Michael Milken and his junk bonds. This thread is less dependent on Lewis' personal experience and features quotes apparently drawn from interviews with various relevant figures.
Lewis jumps back and forth between these two threads in the book.
ahaha
评分Does trading really have some senses to this world?
评分情节挺扣人心弦,感受到了金融业的起落。其中印象较深的一段是,他们垄断mortgage bond后逐渐人才流失,也逐渐将他们的垄断地位打破了,各家金融机构都开始做了。Salomon Brothers中的高管重点放到了政治斗争想要扩展自己的权利范围,却错过了下一个junk bond的市场腾飞。其实公司大了,很多时候就变成了内斗,一个庞然大物想要灵活的适应市场就需要管理者很强的能力。但是这时候的管理者有可能就只是关注ego,而没有将公司的利益放在第一位。
评分可读性非常强,看着盛极一时的Salomon Brothers一步步走向衰落还挺唏嘘的
评分好无聊 特别负能量的一本书
