Gary Stevenson
The Trading Game
A Confession
Crown, 2024
What's inside?
Think life as a trader is glamorous? This dark account will make you think again.
Recommendation
In this dark tale of modern finance, sharp but troubled trader Gary Stevenson describes his unlikely climb from East London poverty to stardom on the Citibank trading floor. At 22, he was still living with his parents while working long hours. At 24, he was collecting six-figure bonuses. And by 25, he was utterly burned out and unable to work. Stevenson delivers a compelling memoir that lays bare both the foibles of trading life and the fractures in the global economy.
