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.
邁剋爾·劉易斯,美國超級暢銷書作傢,畢業於美國普林斯頓大學和英國倫敦經濟學院,曾任所羅門兄弟公司的債券交易員,後為《紐約時報》撰稿,並擔任英國《觀察傢周刊》的美國版編輯。他的成名作《說謊者的撲剋牌》被公認是描寫20世紀80年代華爾街文化的經典名作,書中的精彩片段被各種媒體廣泛引用,對美國商業文化産生瞭重大影響。還著有《錢球》、《盲邊》以及《住房遊戲》。
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Hard to do a better job on this otherwise boringly dry and artificially distorted topic.

这本书和《史上最伟大的交易》都是描述空头是如何艰难地从美国次贷危机中获取大把利润。 首先,看到第十二页译者将Arthur Anderson翻译成阿瑟 安德森,深感失望,这可是当年赫赫有名的五大会计事务所之一。 ***** 重点人物: 本书中描写的重点人物是艾斯曼(Eisman),然后是...
評分2011.8.5,S&P downgraded U.S. credit rating,全球大跌。每天收到合作的基金公司email轰炸。前天又开始新一轮跌,email又来了。与其读那些email,不如读书。 昨天,终于废寝不忘食读完了The Big Short by Michael Lewis。真好看呐,特别是崩盘前夕那段,真揪心,从中环走到...
評分 評分Michael Lewis走过的职业道路是我的梦想。从普林斯顿艺术史专业本科毕业后,他到纽约工作,很快被华尔街的浮华所迷醉,想尽办法希望进入投资银行业,未遂。无奈下他只能先到伦敦政治经济学院(LSE)攻读经济学硕士。在一次女王母亲主持的招待会上,他“碰巧”坐在两位所罗门兄弟(...
