(0 Reviews)

In Michael Lewis's book "Liar's Poker," the author explores the high-stakes world of investment banking during the 1980s. Through a blend of personal anecdotes and sharp observations, he reveals the culture of greed and ambition that defined Wall Street. The narrative offers an inside look at the lives of traders, showcasing their relentless pursuit of wealth and the moral dilemmas they face amid their extravagant lifestyles.

One particularly striking moment is encapsulated in the quote, "What do you mean there is no bathrobe in my suite??!!" This line underscores the entitlement and absurdities faced by those living in luxury, reflecting both the expectations of the elite and the often comical discrepancies of their lavish surroundings. Overall, Lewis's work serves as both a critique and a fascinating exploration of financial excess during that era.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
