Book Synopsis
An insightful and devastating account of how Wall Street lost its way from an insider who experienced the culture of Goldman Sachs first-hand.

On March 14, 2012, more than three million people read Greg Smith''s bombshell Op-Ed in the New York Times titled Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs.
