Liar's Poker 是 Michael Lewis 撰写的一部非虚构半自传体著作，描绘了作者在 1980 年代末作为一名 Wall Street 债券交易员的亲身经历。该书于 1989 年首次出版，被视为定义了 80 年代 Wall Street 的代表作之一。这本畅销且幽默风趣的作品彻底掀开了 Wall Street 会议室的神秘面纱，并将 Michael Lewis 的文笔引介给了全世界。在这部精明敏锐、谐谑辛辣的书里，Michael Lewis 记述了一个令人惊叹的时代，以及他在一家实力雄厚的投资银行里的“浪子历险记”。从一个看似不可能的起点（艺术史背景……

如果你觉得这事无论是从“这到底是怎么回事”的角度，还是从“讲真，投行到底什么样？”的角度来看都很有趣，不妨读读 Michael Lewis 的《Liar's Poker》。它对 80 年代末的华尔街进行了相当有趣的观察，既避免了把整个行业彻底妖魔化，又给出了客观坦率的评价。作为一名……
If you think this stuff is interesting from both a "what the hell is going on here" standpoint and a "no, really, what's it like in an investment bank?" standpoint, read Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis. It's a pretty interesting look at Wall Street in the late 80's, and it does a good job of avoiding an outright demonization of the industry while offering an honest appraisal. As an…
这篇文章连自己提出的“如何做到”都没回答。给对这个话题感兴趣的人，我强烈推荐 Connie Bruck 的《Predators' Ball》和 Michael Lewis 的《Liar's Poker》。> 现代资本主义之父亚当·斯密。我希望大家别再把自由市场和资本主义混为一谈了。资本主义之于自由市场，就像共产主义之于社会主义。亚当·斯密……
This article doesn't even answer its own question of "how". For those interested in the topic, I highly recommend Connie Bruick's Predators' Ball and Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis. > Adam Smith, the father of modern capitalism I hope we can stop conflating free markets for capitalism. Capitalism is to free markets what communism is to socialism. Adam Smith was…
我每隔几年就会重读一遍 Michael Lewis 的《Liar's Poker》。在重印的新版里，他加了一篇序言，大意是说：“我本想写一本揭露华尔街有多可怕的书，结果它反而成了华尔街的招募工具……
I re-read Michael Lewis' Liar's Poker once every few years. In new reprints he's added a prologue where he says something along the lines of "I tried to write a book about the horrors of wall street and instead it became a recruiting tool…
如果你有兴趣多了解一些关于 LTCM 崩盘的事，我推荐 Roger Lowenstein 的《When Genius Failed》（若想更好理解，建议先读 Michael Lewis 的《Liar's Poker》）。如果你想看一本关于初创 HFT/对冲基金的精彩记录，Thomas Bass 的《The Predictors》值得收一本二手书（若想更好地领会，……
If you're interested in reading some more about the collapse of LTCM, I recommend When Genius Failed by Roger Lowenstein (for a fuller appreciation, read Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis first). If you're interested in reading an excellent account of a startup HFT/hedge fund, it's worth ordering a secondhand copy of The Predictors by Thomas Bass (for a fuller appreciation,…

……你直接下高风险赌注。因此，你是通过专门设计用来规避风控系统的金融工具来间接下高风险赌注。这早就不新鲜了。Michael Lewis 的佳作《Liar's Poker》就描述了所罗门兄弟当年如何发明各种门道，为风险极高的外汇交易搞到 3A 级信用评级，好把它们卖给那些对资产信用资质有严格规定的存贷机构（S&L）……
…you make risky bets directly. So instead, you make risky bets indirectly through instruments specifically engineered to game the risk management system. It's nothing new. Michael Lewis' excellent book "Liar's Poker" describes how Solomon Brothers invented ways to obtain triple-A credit ratings for incredibly risky forex trades so that they could be sold to S&L's with strict rules about the credit-worthiness of their…
