Before becoming a writer, he studied art history at Princeton and later economics at the London School of Economics. He then worked on Wall Street at Salomon Brothers, an experience that inspired his breakout book Liar’s Poker.
From there, he built a career explaining big systems through vivid characters and sharp storytelling. His books include Moneyball, The New New Thing, The Blind Side, The Big Short, Flash Boys, The Undoing Project, and The Premonition, and he has also written for Vanity Fair.
What makes his work stand out is the way it makes finance, statistics, government, and psychology feel human and surprisingly readable. Again and again, his books look at how people make decisions, how institutions really work, and why the stories behind the numbers matter.
