Michael Lewis' book has a great narrative, as is his way, with awesome characters. Like like the two main characters, Michael Burry and Steve Eisman, these two incredible characters form Lewis's narrative of how to destroy the world economy. "Is this legal?"
Yup! It was. Burry was Lewis's Asberger investor. Eisman was just the cranky guy with a liberal bent who always told the truth, and who was crass enough to double-dipped into the soy sauce in Las Vegas.
It is a great read which one will want to read more than once. When the entire world economy is melting and Eisman is sitting on the steps of St. Patrick's on Fifth Avenue with his two compatriots -- heads in hands -- the entire book takes another tack.
It is a morality tail which one should read. If one cares. And one should. As did Michael Burry and Steve Eisman.
What does one do when one is betting against the world economy and one's right?
What then?
It is a great read.
The Big Short. The movie is pretty damned good, too, if one wants the short story of the big short. Otherwise, I recommend first the book, then the film. Or the other way around. Either way, both are great, and it works both ways.
