Book Summary:

Liar’s Poker is a semi-autobiographical book chronicling Michael Lewis’s time as a bond salesman at Salomon Brothers, a major Wall Street investment bank, during the 1980s. The book pulls back the curtain on the greed, ambition, and absurdity of Wall Street’s rise during that era, especially surrounding the boom in mortgage bonds and the aggressive culture that ruled the trading floor.

Lewis recounts how he stumbled into his job with no finance background and quickly found himself navigating a hyper-masculine, high-stakes world where cunning and confidence often mattered more than knowledge or ethics. The title itself refers to a high-stakes bluffing game, metaphorical of the atmosphere on Wall Street.

The book is both a memoir and a critique, mixing humor and outrage to highlight how finance evolved from a somewhat staid industry into a playground for risk-takers and gamblers.
