One of my favorite books of all time is Bombardiers by Po Bronson. He's accused by some of plagiarizing Catch-22 but to me it's more relevant to our age because the Bombardiers are bond salespeople who are selling worthless bonds during the S&L crisis of the 80's and 90's.

Major Major is morphed into Lisa Lisa, and Yossarian becomes Sidney Geeder, who feels trapped selling bonds that he knows are worthless. He hates what he does but is very good at it and the money is obscene, so he can't walk away.
