Greedy 1% : Chronicles of a Wall Street Tyrant

The year was 1992, and the stock market was at the midpoint of its historic 20-year bull run. Major Wall Street firms had expanded aggressively during the previous decade and, unbeknown to most, the technology sector was about to expand wildly. The so-called dot com boom created vast wealth for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, investors, and Wall Street. For some, any measure of civility was easily cast aside, assuming it existed in the first place, in the scramble for riches. This is the story of how one star analyst's antics were so outrageous that readers will likely find these anecdotes humorous. "Mark Mandel has given us a humorous glimpse of leadership and ego run amok on Wall Street. This is a fun read, delivered in a pleasant, relatable style." ---Sandra Bodin-Lerner, Adjunct Professor, Kean University, and Public Speaking Coach "With Chronicles of a Wall Street Tyrant, Mark Mandel updates the story that Michael Lewis began in 1989 with Liar's Poker. This is a funny, engaging look at the personalities that thrive where money trumps morals." ---John Rubino, author of Clean Money: Picking Winners in the Green Tech Boom, and co-author of The Collapse of the Dollar and How to Profit From it.
