Review
"One of America's finest business writers has collided with one of America's biggest untold stories, and the result is, predictably, a smash hit. Joseph Nocera explains why you have become the financially obsessed creature you are, and if you have a moment to spare from adding your credit card bills to your stock market losses, you should listen to him."--Michael Lewis, author of The Big Short
"Nocera is one of the most gifted observers of the business world today. It is no surprise that he has produced the definitive history of the post-World War II revolution in personal fincance and made it both vivid and comprehensive."--Bryan Burrough, coauthor of Barbarians at the Gate
"Everyman as financier. That's the engaging and under-reported story that Joe Nocera shares with us in A Piece of the Action. This is not financial history, not business history: It's a timely and superbly researched history of a dominant facet of modern American culture--one that has changed how we act, what we worry about, and who we are."--Tom Peters, coauthor of In Search of Excellence
