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.

評分讀過《說謊者的撲剋牌》作者邁剋爾·劉易斯這本新書,如果讓我來確定副標題,一定會用這個題目,而不是“歐洲即將淪為第三世界”。 讀完《自食惡果》,再迴頭看看《說謊者的撲剋牌》,我明白瞭一件事,劉易斯對瞭解人的興趣一定超過賺錢的興趣,對人性的把握一...
還是Michael Lewis
评分2011.11.9 不能說多麼有insight, 但是風趣的anecdote,行雲流水page turner, 依然是Lewis賣座的關鍵。
评分你就是自己的敵人。就像迴力標,擲齣後若沒有擊中目標物,會再改變方嚮,迴到原擲齣者的手中。
评分as funny as his other works. Europeans must be bloody angry about his jokes though
评分還是Michael Lewis
