Perfect for you if...

You're curious about how smart people make catastrophically bad decisions under pressure and prestige.
You want the messy truth about Wall Street culture rather than sanitised business school cases.
You've worked in high-stakes industries and recognise the dynamics of reputation, groupthink, and moral compromise.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a technical how-to guide on trading or investing strategies.
You prefer uplifting stories about overcoming adversity rather than cautionary tales about professional failure.
You need detailed analysis of specific financial scandals with extensive footnotes and citations.

About this book

Wall Street operates on reputation—damage yours and someone will replace you. Longevity depends on maintaining professional standing. Andy Kessler, a successful hedge fund manager, reflects on his years working as an analyst on Wall Street. He examines how intoxicating forces within finance—exemplified by figures like Jack Grubman (telecom analyst at Salomon Smith Barney), Frank Quattrone (banker at CS First Boston), Mary Meeker (Morgan Stanley), and Henry Blodget (Merrill Lynch)—overwhelmed rational analysis. Kessler presents this as a cautionary account of his experience in the industry.
