Synopsis "the money culture"

The 1980s was the most outrageous and turbulent era in the financial market since the crash of '29, not only on Wall Street but around the world. Michael Lewis, as a trainee at Salomon Brothers in New York and as an investment banker and later financial journalist, was uniquely positioned to chronicle the ambition and folly that fueled the decade.

Michael Lewis (New Orleans, 1960) is a renowned American writer and journalist specialized in economics, finance, and popular culture. Graduated in Art History from Princeton University and with a master's in Economics from the London School of Economics, he worked as a bond trader at Salomon Brothers, an experience he narrated in his first book, Liar’s Poker (1989). Since then, he has published numerous non-fiction works that combine rigorous research with an accessible and engaging narrative

Among his most notable titles are Moneyball: Breaking the Rules (2003), The Blind Side (2006), The Big Short (2010), and Flash Boys: The Wall Street Revolution (2014). Several of these works have been successfully adapted into films, including Moneyball and The Big Short, the latter winning the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. His most recent book, Going Infinite (2023), addresses the rise and fall of Sam Bankman-Fried and the FTX platform. Lewis has been awarded prizes such as the Gerald Loeb Award and was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2023.
