Liar's Poker
13 hrs. 32 min.
Description
"Poker of Liars" is a documentary version of the history of investment banks, revealing the underlying story behind Tom Wolfe’s novel "Bonfire of the Vanities" ("The Bonfire of the Vanities"). Lewis describes the dizzying journey of his hero through the trading floors of Salomon Brothers in London and New York in the mid-to-late 1980s, when the firm was the most powerful and profitable investment bank in the world. The story of that path—from junior trainee to geek apprentice to the triumphant title of the “big trunk”—turned out to be both amusing and frightening. It is an open, ruthless, and breath-taking account of hysterical greed and ambition in a closed, manic, obsessional bond-market world. The excesses of Wall Street—once the central theme of the 1980s—are reflected precisely in "Poker of Liars."
