The Big Short by Michael Lewis

Post by Bram »

This is a narrative concerning mainly the winners on the subprime mortage chicanery.

Compulsively readable.

Yes, one of the best books I've read in years. Hard to put down.

Very readable. Best book on the big stock market crash and I must have read half a dozen of them.

It's the only one I've read so far. Insane how crooked it is, and how everyone got off scott free WITH bailouts from the govt/taxpayers/fed.

It's good to be a bankster
