"One of our most entertaining writers...The Money Culture rivals Liar's Poker in giggle-inspiring quality." -- BusinessWeek -- Library Journal "Journalism of a high order...Lewis's insouciance is one of his great charms as a writer, along with a graceful prose style, a mordant wit, and a thorough grounding in the world of finance...One of those rare works that encapsulate and define an era." -- Fortune "The funniest and most trenchant commentator on the money-mad moguls reshaping our world today." -- USA Today
