## Description

An unforgettable white-knuckle journey through the intoxicating world of high-stakes trading, revealing the dark realities behind financial greed and moral decay.

Review: An interesting insight - I've watch Gary Stevenson on YouTube and am familiar with what he is trying to do, which is help people understand why the economy is failing and why we need to tax the ultra rich, and stop believing the narrative being fed by them about immigrants. It made me curious about him, and after hearing him talk on a podcast about his book, and them saying it is as much about the class system as being a trader, I decided to buy it and read it. I though it might be a bit beyond my understanding, all the maths and financial stuff, but like with his videos, Gary explains it in easy layman's terms, about how he became a trader, what that means and also what it involves. It helps that I come from London, and have worked in large banking institutes like Citibank, and know a few people who are traders and brokers. I understand the lifestyle and the type of people - though Gary explains that really well, and is funny with it. It's a book that documents the financial crash of 2008 - and explains why it happened and why the economy won't recover from it. It also details how the rich are holding all the cards and ordinary people don't have a chance. This causes an emotional and moral dilemma for Gary, who comes from a poor background, and it ultimately leads to him wanting to leave Citibank who he works for, but it turns out they weren't going to let him go quite so easily. He had a fight on his hands. An interesting insight, and enjoyable book which made compelling reading. It is very much written in Gary's tone and style of speaking, although I do feel that the publishers could have proofed it better as there are sentences that don't make sense as they are missing a word, and some terms could have been explained better. (Gary refers to the 'Square Mile' a couple of times, this is actually the colloquial name for the financial heart of central London where all the banks are, it is literally a square mile, but it is never explained, so if you aren't from London, you wouldn't know).
Review: Enjoyable read - Liked how it was written, the characters that Gary describes, the situation itself, the chaos. Found it humorous in a few bits too. But unsure how I feel with what feels like a rushed ending. Overall, I would absolutely recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An entertaining and moving memoir which teaches as much about humanity as it does about finance
*by C***E on 20 March 2025*

Absolutely riveting and full of laugh-out-loud humour. Having lived for many years on the Isle of Dogs it was interesting to know what went on in those towers that I could see from my house. I am loving this book. Yesterday it made bearable a 10-hour wait in A&E. I never imagined that the world of finance worked in this way. Gary explains it all beautifully. His forensically detailed observations of his colleagues and descriptions of interactions with them are cleverly long-drawn out and beautifully paced, which makes for a highly entertaining read. They must all have had a shock when they found out that they were the subject of such close analysis. Nothing, it seems, escapes Gary’s eye. It is good that his highly individual and personal writing style, liberally sprinkled with the F word, has been left alone by his editor. I thoroughly recommend this book.
