具体描述

The #1 New York Times bestseller: "It is the work of our greatest financial journalist, at the top of his game. And it's essential reading."―Graydon Carter, Vanity Fair

The real story of the crash began 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.

Michael Lewis creates a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 bestseller Liar's Poker. Out of a 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 time.

作者简介

Michael Lewis, the best-selling author of Liar's Poker, The Money Culture, The New New Thing, Moneyball, The Blind Side, Panic, Home Game, The Big Short, and Boomerang, among other works, lives in Berkeley, California, with his wife and three children.

没有金融背景也能读懂2008金融危机的书。Michael Burry的故事告诉我们，“举世皆浊我独清，众人皆醉我独醒”需要的不仅仅是勇气，还有智慧和运气。

对于finanical crisis的回忆，太精彩了！我了解了太多关于华尔街空头的故事。我对于MIke Burry，影像最为深刻。关键Lweis的文笔太好了，把CDS和CDO写的太容易明白了！

不如Too big to fail那么紧凑，但两本书一起看，使整个事件更立体。
