Salomon Brothers
Salomon Brothers' success in the 1980s is documented in Michael Lewis' 1989 book, "Liar's Poker". Lewis went through Salomon's training program and then became a bond salesman at Salomon Brothers in London. Lewis presented an insider description of life at Salomon Brothers, and his book became a seminal work in terms of understanding the corporate culture at Salomon Brothers in the 1980s.
