The Big Short by Michael Lewis
🎰 Inside the Doomsday Machine
The True Story of the Genius Outsiders Who Saw the Crash Coming—And Made Billions While the World Burned
Everyone said the housing market couldn’t crash.
The banks said it. The government said it. Wall Street said it.
They were all wrong.
A handful of misfits saw the truth: The entire global economy was built on fraud. And they did something insane—they bet against America.
Michael Lewis found these prophets of doom. He tells their story with the narrative power that made him Wall Street’s most dangerous chronicler.
This is how the world really works. And why the few who see clearly get very, very rich.
