The Money Culture Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Good for Lewis fans, may be a bit drab for other readers. Didn't capture the 80's as much as Liar's Poker. Would put it behind 4-5 other Lewis books, but those set a high bar. "

" Funny, written in 1991 and still very relevant today. "

" Lewis' book reminds that one studies history not to avoid repeating but only to not be surprised by doing the same things again and again and again. "

" Interesting. A bunch of it flew over my head, but some tidbits that worth worth reading even to someone no well versed in the culture of money. "

" 3.5 Not in the same league as Liars Poker, but still a terrific and engaging, if uneven, collection of articles. "

" A solid follow up to Liar's Poker. "

" Fairly scattered, somewhat dated batch of essays, but Lewis' writing shines throughout as always. "

" Not really a book, a collection of previously written articles, not bad but no coherent thoughts/binding. "

" Great writer, and an interesting topic. This is a compilation of articles he wrote over about a 4 year period. The period is the late 80's, though so it's a bit dated. "

" Collection of short stories, not his most interesting work, but a good idea of the financial system and snobbish behavior of the "elite" in the late 1980's and early 1990's. "

" There's a reason people don't mention Money Culture when discussing other works by The Big Short author. "

" Excellent book for anyone interested in the quirks and goings in the trading world. Not as relevant in the current world. But still a good read. "

" I really enjoyed The Big Short, so had really high hopes for the book that brought Lewis to fame...but it fell short of expectations. It felt too often that he was exaggerating his stories, which I felt took away from the story. Fine read, but not as good as I thought it would be. "

" I laughed and liked the most the part where he describes his training class. Back-row people vs. front row people :D "

" Yet another highly entertaining read by Michael Lewis. "

" dont judge a book only by its cover! it may looks a hard book to read, but i'm so enjoying to understand how wall street works.. "

" This was a fine, quick read. Not nearly as interesting as The Big Short but that is probably because it is less current. Basically confirms a lot of my suspicions about bond traders. "

" As I've written elsewhere, I don't see what all the hooplah is about Michael Lewis--his writing is good and this book was fine but I never understood why people revered this book. "

" Engaging read, although there is some question about just how factual the account is. Nonetheless, it was a worthwhile and quick read. "

" This is a highly entertaining look at the culture of Wall Street during the 80's. "

" Michael Lewis is a compelling storyteller. Good account of inside story at Salomon Brothers in 80s. Quite relevant even today. "

" Just finished. Interesting that the mortgage bonds of the 80's were so similar to what just happened in the mortgage market recently. "

" An often funny inside look at 1980s Wall Street. It could have been shorter as Lewis’s story eventually loses steam, but I’ll give him credit for making the history of mortgage backed securities half interesting. "
