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.

評分這本書像之前作者的書一樣,真實生動。 不像時寒冰那樣的高談闊論。而是通過自己對冰島,希臘,愛爾蘭,德國的親身探訪, 從被采訪者的一言一行中來瞭解這個歐債危機的內在原因。 深度遠遠大於時寒冰的空洞。 並且讀起來很有趣味。 特彆是作者穿插著對這些國傢的文化特性的錶述。

personal favourite of the author. 跳齣美國,他更尖刻,但更直接更好玩.雖然不能給齣答案,將癥結所在總結得清爽.
評分fun 講德國人與肛門文化的那一部分太好笑瞭
評分還是Michael Lewis
評分Michael Lewis還是好文筆,但這本書有趣但深度有限。令人思考的是,Iceland的舉債收購海外資産,Ireland的大興土木造房子,Greece的公務員高福利,Germany的亂買衍生品,Califonia的無節製發市政債,所有可笑和荒誕在中國都似乎可以見怪不怪。
評分齣書速度儼然已成MITSloan MR瞭…
