Book Reviews of The Money Culture
Book Review: Sadly, Badly, Hopelessly Dated
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this looking for a sequel to Lewis's highly entertaining LIAR'S POKER. What a disappointment.
Unlike the on-target and amusing later effort, drawn from Lewis's own experience, this little book of essays slides into editorial pontification and personal agenda point-of-view. One year as a junior player in the industry certainly does not make one an expert on all things, and that lack of perspective makes "The Money Culture" read more like a personal agenda driven act of hubris.
That, and so many of the vignettes are so badly dated that they have to be footnoted that "This piece was originally written in 199x" to keep them from looking like they were written with the benefit of hindsight but without the enlightenment history can provide. I thought at least the 2-3 page length of the essays would make this a good carry-along read, to pick up whenever I had a minute or two. Even that slid, to where by the end of the book they turned into much longer articles/chapters.
I had hoped for a prequel to the highly successful Liar's Poker, but was disappointed enough to now believe that Liar's Poker was probably a lucky fluke.
