March 2012. Greg Smith publishes an article in the New York Times about his decision to resign from Goldman Sachs. More than three million people learn firsthand that before the world financially bankrupted, it had morally bankrupted.

This is the story of the moral decline of an entire system, as reflected in the personal adventure of the author. Immediately after college, Greg Smith joined the bank's workforce because he believed in its number one ethical rule: The customer's interest comes first.

Dedicated and talented, Smith soon found himself managing billions of dollars and living the capitalist dream. Outrageous salaries, cars, parties, a luxury home in Manhattan. Until the dream turned into a nightmare.

The bank that was supposed to be interested in safeguarding the interests of its clients started operating as a vampire, calling them puppets and cultivating a profit-at-all-costs mentality.

Realizing that he couldn't change things, Smith decided to throw away a career that most people would envy and speak openly about what he experienced.

A valuable document about the moral degradation within the untouchable world of Wall Street, a chronicle that could be read as a novel if the tragic consequences of what he describes were not so visible and present every day, right beside us.
