The only movie worth watching about finance in the ‘80s

There is only one movie to watch about finance in the ‘80s: Wall street. Yes, ladies and gentlemen: Greed is good.

There are exactly two books you must read about finance in the ‘80s: Michael Lewis’ Liar’s Poker, the inside story of the dealing rooms at Salomon Brothers in New York and London in the mid-1980s. And Barbarians at the Gate, the inside story of the leveraged buyout that defined the decade. Together, they redefined business journalism as we know it today.
