stanje: vrlo dobro

An intrepid and mercilessly sharp-sighted safari through the financial jungles of the 1980s--from the author of the New York Times bestseller Liar`s Poker. With devastating wit and a flair for unveiling the smoke and mirrors of high finance, Lewis takes a new look at many of the most influential and devastating episodes of the get-rich-quick decade.

While Michael Lewis worked as a bond dealer at Salomon Brothers he began his second career as a journalist. In this book the author provides a contemporary record of the ups and downs of the world`s money markets and of the rise and fall of some of the larger-than-life personalities.
