The perspective.
Lewis offers a vivid entry into the personalities and commercial pressures of a particular financial era. Read the narrative for the relationship between compensation, status, customer treatment, and risk-taking. It is especially useful as a reminder that financial products are sold and traded inside organizations whose internal incentives may differ from those of their customers.
