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.

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.

So happy to have come across this brilliant book by Micheal Lewis and of life in Fixed Income in the 80s and one can see how it eventually culminated in the financial crisis.

On a personal note, so sorry to hear of the loss of his beloved Dixie. Listening to Playing to Win was heartbreaking.

An utterly fascinating look into the chaos that is Wall Street and just how it of control it really was. Even the birth of what would go on to become the 2008 financial crisis can be found here. Fun and engaging throughout as only Michael Lewis can.
