The #1 New York Times bestseller: a brilliant account—character-rich and darkly humorous—of how the U.S. economy was driven over the cliff. When the crash of the U. S. stock market became public knowledge in the fall of 2008, it was already old news. The real crash, the silent crash, had taken place over the previous year, in bizarre feeder markets where the sun doesn’t shine, and the SEC doesn’t dare, or bother, to tread: the bond and real estate derivative markets where geeks invent impenetrable securities to profit from the misery of lower- and middle-class Americans who can’t pay their debts. The smart people who understood what was or might be happening were paralyzed by hope and fear; in any case, they weren’t talking.
The crucial question is this: Who understood the risk inherent in the assumption of ever-rising real estate prices, a risk compounded daily by the creation of those arcane, artificial securities loosely based on piles of doubtful mortgages? Michael Lewis turns the inquiry on its head to create a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 best-selling Liar’s Poker . Who got it right? he asks. Who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become, and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception? And what qualities of character made those few persist when their peers and colleagues dismissed them as Chicken Littles? Out of this handful of unlikely—really unlikely—heroes, Lewis fashions a story as compelling and unusual as any of his earlier bestsellers, proving yet again that he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our times.

這本書和《史上最偉大的交易》都是描述空頭是如何艱難地從美國次貸危機中獲取大把利潤。 首先,看到第十二頁譯者將Arthur Anderson翻譯成阿瑟 安德森,深感失望,這可是當年赫赫有名的五大會計事務所之一。 ***** 重點人物: 本書中描寫的重點人物是艾斯曼(Eisman),然後是...
評分要我挑齣來一個最喜歡的商業書作者,就是邁剋爾·劉易斯瞭吧。看完瞭他寫的每一本書。買《The big short》這本書的時候還在Berkeley,其實是有機會去采訪他的,在一個什麼見麵會上,那時候還不知道他要齣新書,如果去聽會,居然要付6美金,夠我買兩瓶紅酒喝,就放棄瞭。...
評分Michael Lewis走過的職業道路是我的夢想。從普林斯頓藝術史專業本科畢業後,他到紐約工作,很快被華爾街的浮華所迷醉,想盡辦法希望進入投資銀行業,未遂。無奈下他隻能先到倫敦政治經濟學院(LSE)攻讀經濟學碩士。在一次女王母親主持的招待會上,他“碰巧”坐在兩位所羅門兄弟(...

評分感覺電影比書好看。 :)
評分The book scrutinizes the subprime mortgage crisis by telling the stories of several typical Wall Street investors. As inspiring as their experiences are (how they grew from scratch not how they screwed the system), I would prefer a book that discusses the crisis, by and large.
評分The goal of the innovation is to make the financial markets more efficient, but at that time the market was paying bond traders to make the market less efficient. So Munger is right: "If you wanted to predict how people would behave, you only had to look at their incentives."
評分#the big short# #大空頭# 電影看瞭三遍,依舊看不夠,於是開始讀原著。這本書神就神在即便我對情節瞭然於胸,對故事結局也不設懸念,但我仍有與書中人物命運同跌宕的超強代入感。每個時代都有極少數有遠見、被誤解、但堅持到底的人。《聖經》裏的諾亞是這類人的原型,隻可惜諾亞造船時的心理活動隻有寥寥數筆。而這本書,通過對Dr. Michael Burry細緻入微的描寫,填補瞭這一空白。《大空頭》給瞭盲從的大眾一個反思的機會,也給瞭清醒的極少數一個堅持到底的理由。
