Download Waffle Street: The Confession and Rehabilitation of a Financier AudioBook Free
Jimmy Adams was let go from a hedge fund in early 2009. Wearied by eight years in the connection market and disillusioned by the financial services profession, he determines to get an "honest job" for a change. Before he knows what strike him, Jimmy discovers himself waiting around on dining tables of barflies at his local Waffle House. Amidst the glorious chaos of the night change, the 24-hour diner affords a bevy of comedic activities as the writer struggles to ingratiate himself with a motley team of waiters and cooks. Unexpectedly, the restaurant also becomes a font of understanding into financial markets and the human condition. Within a uniquely entertaining and thought-provoking narrative, Waffle Neighborhood unravels the enigmas of money, banking, economics, and grits once and for all. As they giggle heartily at the author's expenditure, listeners will establish a profound understanding for the first rule of economics: there really is no such thing as a free of charge lunch.
