About this listen
The classic Michael Lewis book that defined an era of greed, gluttony, and outrageous fortune, available for the first time unabridged and read by the author.
In 1986, before Michael Lewis became the best-selling author of The Big Short, Moneyball, and Flash Boys, 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 New York- and London-based bond salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold rush. Liar’s Poker is the culmination of those heady, frenzied years - a behind-the-scenes look at a unique and turbulent time in American business. This new audio edition, produced by the same team that produces his number one podcast Against the Rules, is unabridged, read by the author, and features archival news clips from the era, original scoring and sound effects, as well as a bonus episode from the companion podcast.
From the frat-boy camaraderie of the 41st-floor trading room to the killer instinct that made ambitious young men gamble everything on a high-stakes game of bluffing and deception, Liar’s Poker is both “the funniest book on Wall Street I’ve ever read” (Tom Wolfe) and the launchpad for Michael Lewis’ storied career.

How could it all go so wrong?
Most important book for traders since "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator". Funny, educational, and you get to enjoy a slice of history that has kept repeating itself ever since.

Insider writer
Very well told story from the front line of Wall St in the 1980s. Good mixture of anecdote and analysis. Fascinating page turner.

Excellent!
Big fan of the author actually narrating their own work. I feel like it gives more feeling, like you’re actually being told the story rather than read it… if that makes sense?
Great book too though, very interesting look back on the way things used to be.

Timely
the author has only now come out with a complete audio book of his wall street experiences of the 1980s including his prophetic views on the mortgage markets of that and later decades.

Really enjoyable read
This is an excellent book - not hard to see why so many people had reccomend it.
My only gripe is the terrible sound effects and music littered throughout.
