Michael Lewis has since gone on to much wider fame but his early tell-most account of his time at Salomon Brothers in the mid eighties succeeds in providing a nice deep look at exactly that, which will appeal if that’s the kind of thing you’re into.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
