About this product
Product Information
The Big Short tells a story of spectacular, epic folly. It has taken the world's greatest financial meltdown to bring Michael Lewis back to the subject that made him famous. His international bestseller Liar's Poker exposed the greed and carnage of the City and Wall Street in the 1980s; he wrote it as a cautionary tale, but people seem to have read it as a how-to guide. Now, he wants to settle accounts. In this visceral tour to the heart of the financial system, Michael Lewis takes us around the globe and back decades to trace the origins of the current crisis. He meets the people who saw it coming, the people who were asleep at the wheel and the people who were actively driving us all of cliff. How could we have all been so deluded for quite so long? Where did it all start? Was it systemic? Was it avoidable? And who the hell can we blame? Michael Lewis has the answers. No one is better qualified to get to the heart of this labyrinthine story. And no one can make it such an enjoyable ride along the way.Product Identifiers

Read it and weep. No really, you should.
Written by a former Wall Street banker turned author/movie writer. Michael Lewis has a laser sharp mind and a pen to match. An amazing page turner that just happens to be true. Through the eyes of 2 high functioning ' Autistics' who independently, on opposite sides of America, unravel the mysteries of the Sub-Prime market scam and make quillions. The back story is that of the deliberate wholesale theft of millions of people's futures, and their children's futures by the decadent corrupt philosophy that is free market Capitalism. Nothing has changed. The song remains the same! A truly great book, a keeper.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
