Thanks to @KirkusReviews for this amazing (starred!) review of my new book, TRIUMPH OF THE YUPPIES: AMERICA, THE EIGHTIES, AND THE CREATION OF AN UNEQUAL NATION. The review calls it "insightful and immensely entertaining." Pre-order : https://t.co/nHbG8MvVrA @GrandCentralPub

Many college students and recent grads in my generation are resigned to the assumed value and prestige of investment banking, so I wanted to go back and interrogate the premise. I discussed @tmcgrathphilly's fantastic book, which tells the story of how we got here.

Excited to be at Barnes and Noble in Center City Philly today, signing copies of TRIUMPH OF THE YUPPIES. Stop by!

This by ⁦@tmcgrathphilly⁩ is sensational - The Big Short x Bonfire of the Vanities. Every page demands underlining. Incredibly relevant to today.

“Triumph of the Yuppies is a searing cultural analysis of a time…when a new corporate elite was born, all seemingly at the expense of the blue-collar man” ⁦@tmcgrathphilly⁩ ⁦@GrandCentralPub⁩

Just finished, "Triumph of the Yuppies" by @tmcgrathphilly. Remember this time well growing up in middle school and high school during this time, couldn't afford Polo and saw the impact of recession of 82 and stock collapse of 88. Makes sense now how this generation focused on

On today's PREVAIL, I talk to @tmcgrathphilly about what's wrong with the media & how it might be fixed, and his excellent new book, "Triumph of the Yuppies." This is a particularly good episode, if I do say so myself. https://t.co/tAYZZl6iYS

“In its push to revive itself, in its zeal to recapture the dominance and prosperity of the postwar era,” America ended up “elevating self-interest over any sense of the common good,” writes @tmcgrathphilly in “Triumph of the Yuppies.” FP Book Club:

Recently, @tmcgrathphilly and Jay McInerney and I had a fantastic conversation about Tom's new book "Triumph of the Yuppies," Jay's classic "Bright Lights, Big City," Donald Trump, Madonna, serial killers, Cuisinarts, shoulder pads, and so much more. https://t.co/TQxYz74lZ8

“Yuppie culture is like the undead. It persisted and thrived.” Jay McInerney, author of “Bright Lights, Big City,” joins the FP Book Club to discuss how he became the “spokesman” for the movement that inspired @tmcgrathphilly’s “Triumph of the Yuppies.”

Ah summer… @GrandCentralPub
