Cityboy: Beer and Loathing in the Square Mile

City Boy is a book about a British man, being sucked into a world of easy money, sex and vulgur addictions. In other words about an average stockbrocker of the late 90s and early 00s. I got this book as a gift for my sister who started studyinc finance and economics in uni last year, and found myself drawn into that book. The writing is fast paced, and simple yet captivating, the one-liners are often hillarious, and the main character is both disgustingly hateful and weirdly likeable. You can't help but like the bad guy in the end eh? Apart from all that though, it offers an inside into the world of golden boys and pure capitalism who ruled and still do our lives and predicts the economical crisis and the extend of its catastrophical consequences years before it actually happened. I found this book both entetaining and educational and recommend to anyone who is interested in economics and current events or just a fun book with a clever edge.
