Liar's Poker: Rising Through the Wreckage on Wall Street
Michael LewisCharles Arthur@bwgooner78 I really don’t have time to explain how financial markets work. Buy Michael Lewis’s book Liar’s Poker. It’s about 30 years old now but it’s absolutely perfect for understanding how mortgages come from finance markets and what bonds are. And it’s a terrifically entertaining read.
