(2009年の増補版がベース)
文句なしに面白い。
90年代半ばに当時ときめいていた米国投資銀行DLJにそれぞれWhartonとHBSから入社した二人のassociateの実体験談。
いわゆるinvestment banking部門の下働きを“これでもか”という位までやらされる姿が良く描けている。
仕事の流れの把握もその意味づけも極めて的確、出てくる人の描き方も“まあそうだろうな、日本も同じようなもんだ”という気がする。
著者二人は“煮ても焼いても食えない金の亡者”としてのMBAではなく、アメリカの20代の若者らしい感受性とユーモアのセンスに恵まれており、カラフルなエピソードも多く、一気に最後まで読ませる。
卑猥な表現も多いが、時たま文語的な表現も出てきて、slungのみならず英語一般の勉強にもなりそうである。
実際に日本で金融業務に従事している方が読めば、“やっぱり同じなんだ”と思うのか?“えー、こんなにすごいの?違うなー”と思うのか?
前者と感じた人でも、まだまだ日本では仕事と生活のバランスはとれているのではないか、という気もするが。。。
なお2009年に追加された(らしい)“Afterword”もLehman shockに至るまでの金融の動きをマクロでよく捉えている(引き続きcynicalな見方だが)。

Animal House meets Liar's Poker in this hysterically funny, often unbelievable, and absolutely, positively true account of life at DLJ, one of the hottest investment banks on Wall Street.
"Like most other young business school graduates, John Rolfe and Peter Troob thought that life in a major investment banking firm would make their wildest dreams come true -- it would be fast-paced, intellectually challenging, glamorous, and, best of all, lucrative.
They were in for a surprise. For behind the walls of Wall Street's firms lies a stratum of stunted, overworked, abused, and in the end, very well-compensated, but very frustrated men and women. Monkey Business takes readers behind the scenes at Donaldson, Lufkin, and Jenrette (DLJ), one of Wall Street's hottest firms of the 90s, from the interview process to the courting of clients to bonus time. It's a glimpse of a side of the business the financial periodicals don't talk about -- 20-hour work days, trips across the country where associates do nothing except carry the pitch book, strip clubs at night, inflated salaries, and high-powered, unforgettable personalities.
Monkey Business provides readers with a first-class education in the real life of an investment banker. But best of all, it is an extremely funny read about two young men who, on their way towards achieving the American dream, quickly realized they were selling their souls to get there."

商品の説明
著者について
John Rolfe graduated from Virginia Tech, The University of Florida, and Wharton Business School. At Wharton, he was the editor of the Wharton Vulgarian. Following his sentence with DLJ, he spent several years working at a private investment fund. In 2001, he co-founded an equity-oriented money management firm, and today manages the firm from a top secret location deep in Vermont. He lives with his wife and two children, and is currently attempting to learn how to produce maple syrup.
Peter Troob graduated from Duke University and Harvard Business School. At Harvard, he was the humor editor for Harbus. After a gross error in judgment caused him to return to the investment banking world at DLJ, he left for the greener pastures of distressed debt investing at a private investment fund. In 2002 he co-founded a debt-oriented money management firm, which he continues to manage today. He lives with his wife and two children outside of New York City, where he can often be seen limping around the neighborhood and complaining about his bad knees.

Funny, honest and good insight into an industry often cloaked in mystique. You will laugh, and enjoy every word of the book. Especially the anecdotal pieces.

Very funny book that told the story of wall street before times where you had to be more PC. If you take offence easily, this book isnt for you however if you have a good sense of humour I would highly recommend.

J'ai adoré. C'est un livre à l'anglais simple, dont les punchlines vous feront tantôt rire tantôt réfléchir. Très caricatural du monde des banques d'affaires (je travaille dans ce milieu), ce livre n'en est pas moins une bonne introduction. Il permet de comprendre les règles et normes de cet environnement et d'en apercevoir ses acteurs
