Покер лжецов
Покер лжецов

«Покер лжецов» — документальный вариант истории об инвестиционных банках, раскрывающий подоплеку повести Тома Вулфа «Bonfire of the Vanities» («Костер тщеславия»). Льюис описывает головокружительный путь своего героя по торговым площадкам фирмы Salomon Brothers в Лондоне и Нью-Йорке в середине бурных 1980-х годов, когда фирма являлась самым мощным и прибыльным инвестиционным банком мира. История этого пути — от простого стажера к подмастерью-геку и к победному званию «большой хобот» — оказалась забавной и пугающей. Это откровенный, безжалостный и захватывающий дух рассказ об истерической алчности и честолюбии в замкнутом, маниакально одержимом мире рынка облигаций. Эксцессы Уолл-стрит, бывшие центральной темой 80-х годов XX века, нашли точное отражение в «Покере лжецов».

Майкл Льюис
