jm3 reviewed Young Money by Kevin Roose
Review of 'Young Money' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
I’m not entirely sure why this book was written. Maybe it felt more insightful when it was written. There’s nothing here that’s not obvious. It tries to put a human face on new recruits to the financial sector,
and does so, but after hundreds of pages only really manages to conclude that new grads gravitate to Wall Street for the money and prestige, and even with banking’s fall from grace, nothing much has changed. This book could have been a two page article.
