Description
A candid and insightful account from an insider who experienced the culture of Goldman Sachs firsthand. In 2012, Greg Smith's bombshell Op-Ed in the New York Times sparked a global conversation about the role of Wall Street in society. Born out of his own experiences as an intern at Goldman Sachs in the summer of 2000, Smith's story takes readers on a personal journey through the firm, from its early days to its later excesses. With clients controlling assets of over a trillion dollars, Smith navigates the highs and lows of his career, revealing the inner workings of one of the world's most powerful banks. Through his experiences, Smith sheds light on the culture that brought the world economy to its knees just a few short years ago. This is a story about the human side of Wall Street, and the consequences of prioritizing profits over principles.
