"Waffle street. Money will never be the same. In the wake of the worst financial turmoil since the Great Depression, millions of Americans were left wondering how the economy actually works. The answers have finally arrived--in a most unconventional form. After spending two years in the midst of the housing market hurricane, Jimmy Adams is laid off from a hedge fund in early 2009. Wearied by eight years in the bond market and disillusioned by the financial services profession, he decides to get an "honest job" for a change. Before he knows what hit him, Jimmy finds himself waiting on tables of barflies at his local waffle shop"--Page 4 of cover.
