The tsunami of cheap credit that rolled across the planet between 2002 and 2008 was more than a simple financial phenomenon: it was temptation, offering entire societies the chance to reveal aspects of their characters they could not normally afford to indulge. Icelanders wanted to stop fishing and become investment bankers. The Greeks wanted to turn their country into a pinata stuffed with cash and allow as many citizens as possible to take a whack at it. The Germans wanted to be even more German; the Irish wanted to stop being Irish. Michael Lewis's investigation of bubbles beyond our shores is so brilliantly, sadly hilarious that it leads the American reader to a comfortable complacency: oh, those foolish foreigners. But when he turns a merciless eye on California and Washington, DC, we see that the narrative is a trap baited with humor, and we understand the reckoning that awaits the greatest and greediest of debtor nations.

读后感

看了爱尔兰的情况，也就明白：在2008年巴菲特花了2.44亿美元购入两间爱尔兰银行的股分，当时以为很便宜，怎料到年底市值跌至2700万美元，账面蚀近90%。当前，中国的银行股看似很便宜，其实未必便宜。

Just finished reading Michael Lewis’s Boomerang, a book about the aftermath of the economic crysis based on the author’s trips to Iceland, Greek, Ireland, Germany and… California. Just like many of Michael’s books before this one, it’s a very interesti...

用户评价

fun 讲德国人与肛门文化的那一部分太好笑了

终于把你给搞定了···

很多部分已经在Vanity Fair看过，但重听此书还是很有乐趣。Lewis的选点和文笔真好，让人欲罢不能啊

Michael Lewis还是好文笔，但这本书有趣但深度有限。令人思考的是，Iceland的举债收购海外资产，Ireland的大兴土木造房子，Greece的公务员高福利，Germany的乱买衍生品，Califonia的无节制发市政债，所有可笑和荒诞在中国都似乎可以见怪不怪。

没有德国，欧盟乙烷；有了德国，欧盟迟早还是药丸。
