There must be a book the movie “Wall Street” was based on, or at the very least a book written after the movie. I’d look for that. Also “Disclosure” by Michael Crichton… he wrote a few biz books… check out the blurbs on more by him, he’s a good storyteller.
Sinclair Lewis’ “Babbitt”
Sloan Wilson’s “The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit”
Michael Crichton’s “Airframe”
William Faulkner’s “Go Down Moses”
Arthur Hailey wrote several dealing with specific industries – wheels, Hotel, Airport etc.
I like Paul Erdman, who writes about banking – he is (was?) an ex internationalbanker, and know his stuff – though all the books I’;ve seen are from the 70s or 80s – “The Silver Bears”, The Crash of ‘79″ are two of hisbest.
